What is the TEALS Program?

Technology Education and Learning Support (TEALS) is a Microsoft Philanthropies program that builds sustainable computer science (CS) programs in high schools. We focus on serving students excluded from learning CS because of race, gender, or geography. TEALS helps teachers learn to teach CS by pairing them with industry volunteers and proven curricula.

Learning CS is opening doors for students

Granger High School in Washington can now offer CS education to students by partnering with the TEALS Program. By pairing volunteers with a classroom teacher, TEALS helps students gain much-needed skills and new-to-CS educators gain the confidence to eventually teach on their own.

This year, the TEALS Program has brought computer science to 100,000 students.

Make a lasting impact

The impact TEALS volunteers and teachers make multiplies over time. TEALS helps teachers learn to teach CS independently, giving students the skills needed to prepare them for in-demand roles and opening pathways to economic opportunity.
