Toward Developing Sound Computer Science Curriculum Standartds for K-12 in the United States

ACM的计算机科学教师协会(CSTA)的资助是为了就美国学校计算机科学的未来提供指导和建议。他们将组建一个由美国和国际计算机科学领域的课程开发专家组成的小组。该小组在2005年全国教育计算会议(2005年6月)的一次特别会议期间举行会议。除美国专家外，来自加拿大、南非、以色列和墨西哥的与会者作为集中努力将计算机科学课程正规化的国家的代表参加了会议。该小组的目标是利用参与者的见解和经验来建立框架和建议，以指导美国CS材料的当前和未来发展。小组的对话将作为一份课程材料开发白皮书转录、出版并广泛传播。

ACM's Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) is funded to provide guidance and recommendations on the future of computer science in US schools. They will assemble a panel of US and international curriculum development experts in the field of computer science. The panel meets during a special session at the 2005 National Educational Computing Conference (June, 2005). In addition to the US experts, participants from Canada, South Africa, Israel and Mexico are participating as representatives of countries that have focused efforts to formalize the computer science curriculum. The goal of the panel is to use the insights and experiences of the participants to build frameworks and recommendations to guide current and future development of CS materials in the US. The panel's dialogue will be transcribed, published and widely disseminated as a white paper development of curriculum materials.
