Author Information - Stacey Armstrong
My name is Stacey Armstrong and I am the author of this website and all materials posted on this website. I have taught Computer Science in the great state of Texas for 13 years. I currently teach at Cypress Woods High School in Houston, TX.
I currently teach four different levels of Computer Science including AP A Computer Science, AP AB Computer Science, and Computer Science 3 and 4.
One of my summer preps for teaching AP Computer Science is to attend the AP reading. The AP Reading will be held in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2009. I have served as an AP reader for five years and currently serve as a table leader. In my opinion, the ap reading is the best professional development available. apreader information
I am an endorsed AP Computer Science consultant and conduct AP Computer Science Summer Institutes as well as present at 1 day and 2 day conferences. I also present at the TCEA State Convention every year.
I serve as a member of the ACM Education Policy Committee. The ACM EPC works to ensure that computer science education is identified as a critical component of education policy.
I am a member of CSTA and serve in Texas as a member of a CSTA cohort charged with building CSTA membership in Texas by way of creating local Texas CSTA chapters which will support computer science teachers.
I have sponsored/coached Computer Science teams for the last 10 years. My teams compete in UIL, TCEA, and local contests all over the state of Texas. During my time as CS team coach, I have had the great fortune to have coached 4 UIL Computer Science State champion teams and 4 TCEA State Programming Contest champion teams. Without a doubt, the contests are very rewarding experiences for teachers and students. Many of my former students continue to compete at the college level as members of ACM collegiate programming teams.
Along with sponsoring CS teams, I also serve as a member of the UIL advisory committee for Computer Science and have served on the TCEA select committee for programming contests.
I host a Computer Science contest every year at my school and work closely with many other local schools to help them host contests. I spend lots of my spare time every year to promote Computer Science contests and to get more and more schools involved in Computer Science contests.
Below are pictures of my Cypress Falls teams from 2006 that were TCEA and UIL State Champions!
I am the sole source of all A+ Computer Science materials.
