CPATH PI meeting 2010

NSF CISE Pathways to Revitalized Undergraduate Computing Education（CPATH）计划已经完成了三个资助周期，并在计算教育方面投入了大量资金。每一项得到资助的提案都有成就和挫折，应与其他提案分享。这个特别项目支持举办一个讲习班，将资助项目的领导人聚集在一起，分享经验，探索进一步合作的机会，并讨论阻碍实现其既定目标的问题。该研讨会计划于2010年3月下旬在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的一个设施。该网站的选择是为了方便访问的赠款PI和美国国家科学基金会的工作人员谁希望观察和了解的成就和挑战的CPATH program.Intellectual Merit：拟议的研讨会将给予领导人的CPATH资助的项目有机会反思他们的目标和他们的进展，集思广益的方式，在其他项目？金融服务的经验可能会激发一些新的活动或重点的一些变化，并与相关活动建立新的联系，以加强每个项目。是吗？]通过项目之间的联系来量化结果。还将取得具体成果，包括对经验的评论、对未来方向的建议、对可行和不可行的想法的描述。结果将发布在NSF NSDL Ensemble站点上：NSDL的计算途径。这些结果的存在将被广泛宣传，这些材料将有助于未来向CPATH和其他NSF计算教育计划提出建议，以避免其他人所经历的陷阱，并将提供见解，从而在CPATH计划所针对的领域提出更有力的建议并取得更多成就

NSF CISE Pathways to Revitalized Undergraduate Computing Education (CPATH) program has completed three funding cycles and has invested heavily in computing education. Each of the funded proposals has accomplishments and setbacks that should be shared with others. This special project supports a workshop to bring together the leaders of the funded projects in order to share experiences, explore opportunities for additional collaborations, and discuss issues that hinder accomplishing their stated goals. The workshop is planned for late March 2010 at a facility in Arlington, VA. The site is chosen for easy access both by the grant PIs and by NSF staff who wish to observe and learn about the accomplishments and challenges of the CPATH program.Intellectual Merit: The proposed workshop will give leaders of CPATH funded projects an opportunity to reflect on their goals and their progress, to brainstorm on ways in which other project?fs experiences might inspire some new activities or some changes of emphasis, and to make new connections to related activities that will enhance each of the projects.Broader Impacts: The outcomes of the workshop will include hard?]to?]quantify results from connections made between projects. There will also be concrete results in the form of commentary on experiences, suggestions for future directions, descriptions of ideas that worked and ideas that did not work. The results will be published on the NSF NSDL Ensemble site: the computing pathway to NSDL. The existence of the results will be well publicized and these materials will help future proposals to CPATH and other NSF computing education programs to avoid the pitfalls experienced by others and will provide insights that will lead to stronger proposals and more accomplishments in areas targeted by the CPATH program
