CPATH CB: Improving Computing Education by Developing Regional Communities of Computing Educators

改善计算机教育的方法是将不同级别的计算机科学教师联系起来，以便发展一个专注于共同目标和活动的社区，以振兴本科和高中计算机教育。计算教育者学科共用组织(DCCE)通过改造计算教育者，走出了一条变革计算教育的道路。该项目将重点介绍佐治亚州的计算机科学教师。教育的任何改变或改革都必须涉及教师；这项工程从教师开始。策略是聚集来自不同大学的入门计算机科学教师以及高中计算机科学教师，特别是高级安置教师。这些教师自然在方法上有共同的兴趣，在共同的话题上进行讨论。高中教师感兴趣的是在大专阶段发生了什么，以及如何最好地为学生做好准备。大学教师希望加强高中生的过渡，并鼓励更多的学生学习计算机。通过培养积极参与的研究人员和社区领袖来鼓励讨论。不同的方法将得到支持，想法将被播种到社区。正在进行的研究将加强所做的教学，这已被证明有助于学生的学习。该项目将为其他计算机领域的教师和该国其他地区的教师创建一个模型。

The approach to improving computing education is to connect computer science teachers at different levels in order to develop a community focused on common goals and activities that will revitalize both undergraduate and high school computing education. The disciplinary commons of computing educators (DCCE) takes the path of transforming computing education by transforming computing educators. This project will focus on introductory computer science teacher in Georgia. Any change or reform in education must involve the teachers; this project starts with the teachers. The strategy is to gather introductory computer science teachers from different universities along with high school computer science teachers, especially advanced placement teachers. These teachers naturally have common interests in approaches and common topics to discuss. High school teachers are interested in what happens at the post-secondary level and how best to prepare their students. University teachers want to enhance the transition of students from high school and to encourage more students to learn computing. The discussions are encouraged by developing engaged researchers and community leaders. Different approaches will be supported, with ideas seeded into the community. The ongoing research will enhance the teaching done, which has been shown to contribute to student learning. The project will create a model for teachers in other areas of computing and the rest of the country.
