Computer science teachers educate students on how computers work, from the basic science and mathematics behind their operation to the actual hardware and the software built on those foundations. Education and career requirements vary depending on the level at which one is teaching, but a minimum of a bachelor's degree and a state teaching license is typically required.
Students interested in becoming certified computer teachers may pursue a bachelor's degree in computer science but also take education classes. Students may also earn a degree in education with a minor or second major in computer science. These programs typically combine lecture-based courses with student-teaching experiences, preparing students for state teaching certification.
Program Coursework
Courses leading to certification in teaching computer science give students an overview of the field. In addition to computer science classes, students take education classes like teaching methods and educational psychology. Computer science courses include:
• Object design
• Software development (often C++)
• Discrete structures
• Programming
• Computation models
• Algorithms
• Computer organization

Job Description
Computer science teachers are responsible for instructing computer science to students at both high school and college levels. They guide and assist students in their entire learning experience, including welcoming them to the class, creating a curriculum and presenting all class information. Computer science teachers specifically teach their students about computer science, which is the study of how computer process and store information. They teach students to write computer programs, algorithms and even programming languages; computer systems design is also covered.
Job Duties
- Preparing the curriculum and presenting the material to his or her class is one of the main duties of a teacher.
- Computer science teachers complete many other general tasks as well, such as tracking attendance, assigning homework, grading assignments, giving feedback and communicating effectively with students at all levels of technological understanding.
- Other tasks that teachers may complete include holding office hours, ensuring that class materials are up to date, reviewing curriculum and demonstrating professionalism in dealing with others.
- Computer science teachers at a high school may also be responsible for overseeing a homeroom or study hall.
