Hi Clint, I was in your very situation in the past, and these are resources I consider good: - http://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Digital-Age-Programming-Python/dp/0972705589 - http://inventwithpython.com/ - https://www.udacity.com/course/cs101
According to the level of your students, and yours as well, you might be more comfortable with one or more of the above mentioned. I regularly run robotics after-school courses but I've never found extremely helpful Python on NXT, for a number of technical glitches on it. I prefer to focus on the learning way more than on the technical aspects of the business. Hope this helps! Have a great day. Roberto.
