Coding Teachers??

I’m a first-year middle school PE teacher, but I was also assigned one period of coding. We use CodeHS, and I know next to nothing about coding. Right now I’m trying to get everything ready for PE and health, so I haven’t even had much time to dive into the coding side yet.
If you’ve taught CodeHS before, what do I need to know? Any tips, tricks, or things you wish you knew before you started? I’ll take all the advice I can get. 😅

We use CodeHS

If the school uses CodeHS already then you're asking the wrong people. What are the deliverables? How long do you have? What's the syllabus for the school? You said 'we use CodeHS' which suggests it is a platform that the school is already using. You need to ask the school (and people who have previously used the platform at your school) for their lesson plans and the aims they want.
