Ready-To-Go Lessons
Ready-to-go lessons come fully prepared with videos, discussion questions, assessments, and guided practice, making them easy to teach—even for those new to CS. Lessons can also be set to self-paced mode, allowing students to work independently and giving teachers flexibility to meet different classroom needs.
Vertically-Aligned Computer Science Pathway
CodeHop curriculum provides vertically-aligned lessons to unify a K-12 computer science pathway at any district. Courses are aligned to state and national standards and are also available in Spanish.
Comprehensive Curriculum
Teachers can choose from a growing collection of elementary computer science lessons that often integrate our Scratch-based & ScratchJr-based environments alongside digital literacy, physical computing, and interactive activities. The collection includes lessons designed for stand-alone CS instruction as well as lessons designed for interdisciplinary integration.
Customizable PD and Implementation Support
Professional development workshops are designed to quickly get elementary teachers up to speed with teaching CodeHop lessons. No previous programming experience is needed! CodeHop also provides ongoing support with implementation with suggested lesson sequences.

I think I speak for everyone when I say thank you for awesome training! The vibe I got as teachers were leaving was one of excitement and relief that they could do this. I appreciate all the work you guys have put into this to make it easy for the elementary teachers to access the lessons and know what they need to do.
