计算机科学教育近年来一直在急剧增长。在美国，不同的州正在通过不同的政策推进计算机科学教育。然而，作为一个国家做出选择，以推进计算机科学教育，这是至关重要的考虑这些政策将如何扩大参与计算（BPC）。许多人表示，目前只有白色和亚洲男性（占我们人口的30%）有机会/特权从事计算机科学教育。因此，当我们实施国家级计算机科学教育改革时，BPC仍然是我们的指导原则是至关重要的。扩展计算教育途径（ECEP）是作为NSF国家联盟创建的，以支持国家级计算机科学教育改革。在过去的6年里，这个由22个州和波多黎各组成的联盟一直在共同努力，分享政策，以推动每个州的BPC。通过这些经验，ECEP提出了与CS教育改革相关的国家变革遵循五个阶段：（1）找到您的领导者和变革推动者;（2）了解CS教育前景并确定关键问题/政策;（3）聚集和组织您的盟友以制定目标并制定战略计划;（4）获得支持变革的初始资金;（5）建立和利用数据基础设施，为战略性BPC工作提供信息。这项研究通过过去十年的25，000多份文件和数据源检查了ECEP联盟和五阶段模型，具体调查了这五个阶段如何影响各州的整体BPC工作。结果表明，这5个阶段似乎支持国家的BPC的努力。
Computer science education has been making dramatic increases in recent years. Across the US, different states are advancing computer science education through different policies. However, as a state makes choices to advance computer science education, it is critical to consider how these policies will broaden participation in computing (BPC). Many have indicated that only white and Asian males (who make up 30% of our population) currently have the opportunity/privilege to engage in computer science education. Therefore, as we implement state-level computer science education reform, it is critical that BPC remains as our guiding principle. Expanding Computing Education Pathways (ECEP) was created as an NSF national alliance to support state-level educational reform with regards to computer science. Over the past 6 years, this alliance of 22 states and Puerto Rico have worked together to share policies to advance BPC in each state. Through these experiences, ECEP has proposed that state change related to CS educational reform follows five stages: (1) Find your leader(s) and change agents; (2) understand the CS education landscape and identify the key issues/policies; (3) gather and organize your allies to establish goals and develop strategic plans and; (4) get initial funding to support change and; (5) building and utilizing data infrastructure that informs strategic BPC efforts. This study examined the ECEP alliance and the five-stage model through the 25,000+ documents and data sources over the past decade, specifically investigating how these five stages impacted states’ overall BPC efforts. Results indicated that these 5 stages seemed to support states’ BPC efforts.
