BPC-AE: AccessComputing Second Extension

华盛顿大学(UW)提议对访问计算职业联盟(AccessComputing)进行扩展。AccessComputing让残疾人以及那些支持、服务、指导、教育和雇用他们的人参与转型努力，使计算学科对残疾人更受欢迎，更容易获得，包括9/11事件后的退伍军人。访问计算，由威斯康星大学计算机科学与工程系和DO-IT(残疾、机会、互联网和技术)中心与不同的高等教育机构、BPC联盟和计算组织共同努力。该联盟的目标是(1)提高中学后机构、大学前教育工作者、BPC联盟和行业的能力，以完全纳入计算领域的残疾个人；(2)使用基于证据的实践向个人提供直接服务，以支持这些个人度过计算机职业生涯的关键时刻；(3)在利益相关者之间建立协同和持久的关系，以促进计算机教育和职业生涯中的包容性的系统性变化；以及(4)扩大一个在线资源中心，以便在全球范围内分享研究和成功的实践。应用以知识管理、协作和社交网络理论和实践为基础的方法，AccessComputing奖的这一扩展将把早期和新的关系正式化为由合作伙伴、协作者和附属公司组成的多层组织结构。残疾个人的结果将通过跟踪学生参与者的进展以及机构入学和毕业数据来记录；结果将与地方、地区和国家关于残疾人学术和职业成功的数据进行比较。

The University of Washington (UW) proposes an extension for the Alliance for Access to Computing Careers (AccessComputing). AccessComputing engages individuals with disabilities as well as those who support, serve, guide, educate, and employ them in transformational efforts to make the computing disciplines more welcoming and accessible to individuals with disabilities, including post-9/11 veterans. AccessComputing, a combined effort of UW's Department of Computer Science and Engineering and DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology) Center, in partnership with diverse set of postsecondary institutions, BPC Alliances, and computing organizations. The Alliance aims to (1) increase the capacity of postsecondary institutions, precollege educators, BPC Alliances, and industry to fully include individuals with disabilities in computing fields; (2) provide direct services to individuals using evidence-based practices that support those individuals as they move through critical junctures on the way to computing careers; (3) build synergistic and lasting relationships among stakeholders to promote systemic changes toward inclusiveness in computing education and careers; and (4) expand an online resource center to share research and successful practices worldwide. Applying methods grounded in knowledge management, collaboration, and social network theory and practice, this extension to the AccessComputing award will formalize earlier and new relationships into a multitier organizational structure of partners, collaborators, and affiliates. Outcomes for individuals with disabilities will be documented by tracking the progress of student participants as well as institutional enrollment and graduation data; and results will be compared to local, regional, and national data with respect to the academic and career success of people with disabilities.
