A Program to Enhance Faculty Development Through Participation in Regional and National Computer Science Education Conferences

该项目是计算机科学教育特别兴趣小组（SIGCSE）和小型学院计算联盟（CCSC）之间的合作努力，为计算机科学教师提供外展服务。每个小组的主要重点是提高教师的教学技能，提高对计算机科学教育中当前问题的认识，并为教师提供分享想法的机会。 这个为期两年的项目有两个组成部分：（1）通过每年在五个CCSC区域会议上提供两个SIGCSE研讨会研讨会提供外展服务，以及（2）为20名教师提供竞争性资源补助金计划提供资金，每年参加SIGCSE技术研讨会。第一个组成部分允许更多的教师利用研讨会上的高质量讲习班，但在一个较便宜的区域会议的背景下。第二部件 鼓励并允许一些教师参加国家研讨会及其讲习班，否则他们将无法参加由于缺乏资金。补助金计划支持一些教师谁将出席研讨会以及人谁不会。所有人都有机会作为会议主席参加会议，并更多地参与专题讨论会的活动。 这一总体项目的有效性将由参与者进行两次单独的评价来确定：一次是在讲习班/专题讨论会之后立即进行的评价，另一次是在六个月之后确定对培训班和课程的影响。

This project is a cooperative effort between the Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE) and the Consortium for Computing in Small Colleges (CCSC) to provide outreach services to Computer Science faculty. Each group has as its primary focus improving faculty teaching skills, increasing awareness of current issues in Computer Science education and providing opportunities for faculty to share ideas. The two-year project has two components: (1) to provide outreach services by offering two SIGCSE Symposium workshops at each of the five CCSC Regional conferences each year, and (2) provide funds for a competitive resource grant program for twenty faculty to attend the SIGCSE Technical Symposium each year. The first component allows more faculty to take advantage of the high quality workshops at the Symposium, but within the context of a less expensive regional conference. The second component encourages and allows a number faculty members to participate in the national Symposium and its workshops who would not otherwise be able to attend due to lack of funds. The grant program supports some faculty who will present at the Symposium as well as people who will not. All are provided with the opportunity to participate as a session chair and become more involved with Symposium activities. The effectiveness of this overall project will be ascertained by two separate evaluations from participants: one immediately following the workshops/symposium, and one six months later to determine impact on courses and curricula.
