The University of Massachusetts proposes an expansion of the Commonwealth Alliance for Information Technology Education (CAITE). CAITE ? an alliance of three campuses of the University of Massachusetts and six community colleges, that aims to increase participation and retention along the high-school-to-community-college-to-four-year-to-graduate-school pipeline. Much of the focus is on community colleges because of the central role they play in reaching out to underserved populations and in serving as a gateway to careers and further higher education. CAITE aims to make academic IT pathways attractive and nurturing, and to ensure that students -- particularly women and underrepresented minorities -- are adequately prepared to enter them. This extension brings in a fourth region and new regional partners. In addition, it strengthens and re-focuses the work of the existing CAITE Alliance, forging stronger direct ties to other BPC projects, modifying outreach and pathway strategies based on lessons learned from the original grant, and developing new interventions designed to increase participation and retention. The extension of CAITE will be data-driven, informed by best practices developed locally and nationally, and focused on replication and dissemination.

马萨诸塞州大学提议扩大英联邦信息技术教育联盟（CAITE）。凯特？由马萨诸塞州大学三个校区和六所社区学院组成的联盟，旨在增加高中到社区学院到四年制研究生院的参与和保留。大部分的重点是社区学院，因为他们在接触服务不足的人群，并作为通往职业和进一步高等教育的门户发挥着核心作用。CAITE旨在使学术信息技术途径具有吸引力和培养能力，并确保学生-特别是妇女和代表性不足的少数民族-为进入这些途径做好充分准备。这一扩展带来了第四个区域和新的区域合作伙伴。此外，它还加强和重新调整了现有CAITE联盟的工作重点，与其他BPC项目建立了更紧密的直接联系，根据从原始赠款中吸取的经验教训修改了外联和途径战略，并制定了旨在提高参与率和保留率的新干预措施。该方案的推广将以数据为驱动力，借鉴地方和国家发展的最佳做法，并侧重于推广和传播。
