My guess would be training. You can have an online-supplemented course where most of the material is pre-canned and the teachers know just enough to guide the students through a semester or a year of class.

I doubt they intend on teaching much beyond the basics at that level, which shouldn't be hard for any teacher to learn.




Good Lord. Here's an excellent talk about why mathematics teachers should know mathematics: https://math.berkeley.edu/~wu/Lisbon2010_2.pdf

That's mathematics, not didactics of mathematics.


Haha haha. Source: I have tried this.


Nope, this doesn't work. You get teachers who can basically teach students to memorize a bunch of computer science topics, but not those that can help at all in helping students when their code inevitably doesn't work.
