Woz U Is Partnering with GlobalED to Provide Teachers with Coding Education

As The Need for Technology Skills Grows, Woz U Will Provide Teachers with Coding Courses to Help Them Prepare Future Workforce

Scottsdale, AZ – Woz U will be partnering with the global clearinghouse for teaching credentials, GlobalED, to provide teachers worldwide with the necessary education on coding. This partnership comes as India recently announced a new technology-focused education policy that, in addition to building a digital teaching infrastructure, will require schools to offer coding to children as young as 12 to keep pace with workforce demand. To teach those courses, teacher will need to be provided with the proper training and materials.

“With the move to online learning, people have been critical of the education system, and how schools, in some cases, have been slow to adapt,” said Jacob Mayhew, CEO of Woz U. “But the reality is, teachers have not been exposed to what they’re expected to teach. Through this partnership with GlobalED, we aim to change that.”

GlobalED is an online platform for teachers to access professional development courses at a reasonable cost. GlobalED partners with curriculum providers and other vendors to offer professional development and continuing education units (CEU) that are pathways to certifications and renewals, and portable credits that can be applied to other programs. The courses are approved by accreditors like the National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA).

“These are extraordinary times for education, so why would we use ordinary professional development methods?” said Trina Angelone, Founder of GlobalED. “Our model allows teachers to get comfortable with technologies while accessing professional development they need in an affordable and efficient way. We’re proud to partner with curriculum and digital learning providers like Woz U that are willing to give back to educators. There is no better provider to help teachers learn about coding.”

As an Education-as-a-Service company, Woz U will provide and deliver a coding curriculum focused on the fundamentals of coding so that any teacher can have a working knowledge of the subject.

“Technology is only going to continue growing, and we need educators to lean into that,” said Chris Coleman, President of Woz U. “In the same way that any elementary school teacher would be able to give a simple explanation on physics or gravity, we want them to be able to provide that when a fourth-grader asks about coding.  This approach will foster interest and affinity towards the skills needed in the modern economy.”
