To prepare teachers to teach the course, SAS offers a five day intensive train-the-teacher program at our Cary, NC headquarters. The training, instructional materials and software for classroom instruction are offered at no charge for teachers enrolled in the training. The 2009 training takes place August 3-7. Applications and registrations must be received by July 20, 2009 to secure a place for the 2009 session.

SAS Programming 1 for High School is now available for classroom use. SAS Programming 2 for High School will be available in August 2010 enabling students who register for both classes to qualify for completer status. SAS offers an internationally recognized certification exam which correlates with the high school courses.

SAS provides complete, pilot-tested curricula but encourages instructors to create instructional projects and exercises on their own to share with a growing community of high school SAS teachers. The course is designed to be taught in the block schedule (90 days with 1½-hour sessions) or in 180 days (45-minute sessions taught daily).

The SAS Programming for High School courses are recognized by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, the South Carolina Department of Education, and a growing number of state education agencies as part of the coursework for CTE, business education, career academies, etc. For information about how your state can get involved, please contact HSprogramming@sas.com.
