性别和种族/民族参与计算的差距是一个有据可查的问题，激励了一些干预措施，旨在吸引和留住妇女和代表性不足的学生（黑人或非洲裔美国人，拉丁美洲人和美洲原住民学生）在这个高需求领域。其中一项努力是大学理事会的计算机科学原理（CSP）课程，这是一门调查课程，旨在吸引那些传统上选择在中学教育中退出计算机科学的学生。UTeach CSP是UTeach为CSP课程设计的基于项目的学习（PBL）课程。与其他课程的学生相比，从实施UTeach CSP课程的教师那里学习的学生在2017年大学理事会AP CSP评估中得分更高。分数显着较高的女孩和拉丁裔学生，即使在调整后，以标准化的学校的人口特征，其中UTeach CSP课程实施。这张海报展示了课程设计研究，为更高的成绩提出了解释。该研究还可以为CS教师提供超越传统的基于讲座的CS教学的想法，以提高学生的表现和更多样化的参与。讲义将与UT CSP项目示例一起提供，包括课程计划、学生讲义、视频链接、节奏指南、评估和标题。
Gender and racial/ethnic participation gaps in computing is a well-documented problem motivating several interventions aimed at attracting and retaining women and underrepresented students (Black or African American, Latinx, and Native American students) in this high-need area. One such effort is the College Board's Computer Science Principles (CSP) course, a survey course designed to engage students who have traditionally opted-out of computer science in secondary education. UTeach CSP is UTeach's Project-Based Learning (PBL) curriculum designed for the CSP course. Students learning from teachers implementing the UTeach CSP curriculum scored higher on the 2017 College Board AP CSP assessment, when compared with students taught with other curriculum. Scores were significantly higher for girls and Latinx students, even after adjustments were made to standardize the demographic characteristics of the schools where the UTeach CSP curriculum was implemented. This poster presents curriculum design research that suggests explanations for the higher results. The research can also provide CS teachers with ideas for moving beyond traditional lecture-based CS instruction for increased student performance and more diverse engagement. Handouts will be provided with a sample UT CSP project including lesson plan, student handout, video link, pacing guide, assessment, and rubric.
