专业发展（PD）长期以来一直被认为是K-12 CS教育的关键要素之一，特别是在解决服务不足的社区问题时。在过去的十年中，已经做了大量的工作，以创建专业发展和课程的产品是基于研究，具有良好的记录。Bootstrap，Exploring Computer Science和AP CS Principles代表了这些类型的程序。这些项目都为教育工作者开发了高质量的PD，并被白宫认可为典范课程。然而，规模经济使其难以扩展到全国各地的广大小学区，包括一些最孤立和服务不足的地区，如农村社区和美洲原住民保留地。这个小组将讨论一个替代模式-“CSPdWeek”-一个全国性的活动，旨在为全国各地的教师提供一流的PD。首届CSPdWeek于2016年7月在科罗拉多矿业学院举行，为参加三个以教师为中心的专业发展项目之一的教师提供为期一周的住宿体验。超过240名课堂教师参加了CSPdWeek，使这一专业发展成为美国教师准备教授计算机的最大的跨课程努力，作为“CS for All”运动的一部分。这个小组将重点讨论为什么今年的CSPdWeek如此成功，以及谈论成为教育运动一部分的教师的社交媒体证词背后的原因。
Professional development (PD) has long been recognized as one of the key ingredients in K-12 CS Education, particularly when addressing the problem of underserved communities. Over the last decade, significant work has been done to create professional development and curricular offerings that are research based, with a proven track record. Bootstrap, Exploring Computer Science and AP CS Principles represent these types of programs. Each of these programs has developed high-quality PD for educators and have been recognized by the White House as exemplar courses. However, economies of scale make it difficult to expand to the vast number of small school districts around the country, including some of the most isolated and underserved areas such as rural communities and Native American reservations. This panel will discuss an alternative model - "CSPdWeek" -- a national event aimed at providing best-in-class PD to teachers across the country. The inaugural CSPdWeek took place in July, 2016 at Colorado School of Mines, and provided a week-long residential experience for teachers attending one of three teacher-focused professional development programs. Over 240 classroom teachers attended CSPdWeek, making this professional development the single largest cross-curricular effort in preparing U.S. teachers to teach computing as part of the "CS for All" movement. This panel will focus on why this year's CSPdWeek was such a success and what was behind social media testimonies from teachers who talked about being part of an educational movement.
