Faith Integration
The Malone computer science endorsement program for teachers challenges participants to follow God’s calling on their lives into a variety of P–12, Christian, and private school settings. Through prayer, Scripture, and personal example, our faculty members integrate faith into the curriculum so you’re prepared to show Christ to your students in whatever ways are most suitable for your teaching setting.
“Education is constantly evolving, and computer science plays an increasingly vital role in preparing students for the careers of the future. My classes at Malone deepened my understanding, helping me move beyond the basics and grasp the underlying principles of methods, classes, and more. The knowledge I gained at Malone was crucial in preparing me to pass the 054 Computer Science exam. The cohort was welcoming, and I felt a strong sense of connection with other students, even in a virtual setting.”
Amanda Gillespie, teacher, Canton City Schools
“I am very thankful for the opportunity to participate in the Computer Science for teachers program. As someone who knew very little about CS coming in, I have learned a lot! It was challenging, but I feel a sense of accomplishment at this point. Even if I don’t plan to teach this subject in the future, I have a wealth of knowledge and many new resources that will help me in any classroom!”
Grace Brewer, teacher, Black River School District
