This exploratory proposal submitted by the Association for Computing Machinery aims at developing a community of individuals and organizations working together to address critical issues in K-12 computer science education by broadening the awareness of the need for curriculum computer science standards, providing multiple levels of professional development, conducting and disseminating research in computer science education, and promoting this subject as a unique field of study in schools. Specifically, the objectives are (1) to identify and select individuals with demonstrated commitment to computer science, (2) to provide professional development on effective tools and strategies for the improvement of K-12 computer science, (3) to develop a toolkit of materials aimed at increasing awareness in computer science, and (4) to facilitate mentoring between K-12 leaders and post-secondary faculty, with a focus on high school computer science teachers. Dissemination efforts include the Computer Science Teacher Association?s (CSTA) website to promote the use of successful projects, participation in the National Educational Computing Conference, and publication of articles in CSTA?s Voice and Advocate. Program assessment plans identify the use of an evaluator to monitor the implementation and effectiveness of proposed activities, and to provide frequent feedback to the project?s leadership for appropriate modifications.

计算机协会提交的这一探索性提案旨在发展一个由个人和组织组成的社区，通过扩大对计算机科学课程标准需求的认识，提供多层次的专业发展，开展和传播计算机科学教育研究，并将这门学科作为学校的一个独特研究领域。具体来说，目标是（1）确定和选择个人与证明致力于计算机科学，（2）提供专业发展的有效工具和策略，以改善K-12计算机科学，（3）开发一个工具包的材料，旨在提高认识计算机科学，和（4）促进K-12领导人和中学后教师之间的指导，重点是高中计算机科学教师。传播工作包括计算机科学教师协会？的（CSTA）网站，以促进成功的项目的使用，在全国教育计算会议的参与，并在CSTA的文章出版？的声音和律师。项目评估计划确定了评估人员的使用，以监测拟议活动的实施和有效性，并经常向项目提供反馈？的领导进行适当的修改。
