Communications
Sacramento State’s College of Continuing Education (CCE) is currently offering a fully online Computer Science Supplementary Authorization program specifically designed for working educators. No prior knowledge or experience with computer science is necessary, but if you’re interested, this program is for those with their single or multiple subject teaching credential only. California’s Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) offers a Supplementary Authorization for credentialed teachers, which allows you to teach computer science in K-12 settings even if your degree was not in computer science. Have questions? Contact the College of Continuing Education today!

A reminder that in RCSD, we teach Digital Citizenship to all students K-8. The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) requires all students K-12 receive Internet Safety lessons to learn about appropriate online behavior each year. We use Common Sense Media for our safety lessons.
Below is a link to the lessons for each grade level.
All lessons for your grade level are expected to be taught by the end of the school year.
