大学先修课程计算机科学原理（AP CSP）课程已经全面活跃了2年，吸引了大量不同的学生[2]，并激发了对训练有素的CSP教师的需求，特别是在有效实践多样性和公平方面。我们从2012年至2018年举办了夏季专业发展（PD）研讨会，为748名教师准备了使用计算（BJC）课程的美感和乐趣来教授AP CSP。为了提高教学的公平性和准备程度，我们通过以下方式改进了PD：将PD从6周缩短为1周;开发新的、高度脚手架化的PD前工作;并修改面对面的时间表，以纳入更多的教学法和教学经验，同时继续为教师学习编程基础知识提供深入的实践支持。最近对我们的PD时间表进行了修订，改善了PD后的调查结果，2018年的教师计划采用比往年更多的BJC课程。从2017年到2018年，计划采用率增加了13%，导致2018年PD参与者中有73%计划采用超过60%的BJC课程，58%计划在2018-2019年在课堂上采用80- 100%的BJC课程。在本文中，我们讨论了最新的BJC PD实施，并提供证据，增加教师自我效能感的领域，包括培养兴趣计算代表性不足的人群。
The Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles (AP CSP) course has been fully active for 2 years, garnering a large group of diverse students [2], and flaming the need for highly trained CSP teachers, especially in effective practices for diversity and equity. We have conducted summer professional development (PD) workshops from 2012-2018 which have prepared 748 teachers to teach AP CSP using the Beauty and Joy of Computing (BJC) curriculum. To improve equity and readiness for teaching, we have refined our PD by: shortening the PD from 6 weeks to 1 week; developing new, highly scaffolded pre-PD work; and modifying the in-person schedule to incorporate more pedagogy and teaching experiences, while continuing to provide in-depth, hands-on support for teachers to learn the basics of programming. The most recent revisions to our PD schedule resulted in improved post-PD survey results, with teachers from the 2018 cohort planning to adopt more of the BJC curriculum than in past years. From 2017 to 2018, planned adoption rates increased by 13%, resulting in 73% of the 2018 PD participants planning to adopt more than $60%$ of the BJC curriculum and 58% planning to adopt 80-$100% of the BJC curriculum in their classrooms in 2018-2019. In this paper, we discuss the most recent BJC PD implementation and provide evidence of increased teacher self-efficacy in areas including fostering interest in computing for underrepresented populations.
