BPC-AE: AccessComputing Second Extension

华盛顿大学（UW）提议扩展计算机职业联盟（AccessComputing）。AccessComputing吸引残疾人士以及那些支持、服务、指导、教育和雇用他们的人参与变革工作，使计算学科更受残疾人士（包括9/11后的退伍军人）的欢迎和访问。AccessComputing是华盛顿大学计算机科学与工程系和DO-IT（残疾、机会、互联网和技术）中心的联合努力，与各种高等院校、BPC联盟和计算组织合作。该联盟的目标是：(1)提高高等教育机构、大学预科教育者、BPC联盟和工业界的能力，使残疾人充分参与计算机领域的工作；(2)使用基于证据的实践为个人提供直接服务，支持那些在计算机职业道路上走过关键节点的个人；(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包容性的系统性变革；(4)扩大在线资源中心，在全球范围内分享研究成果和成功实践。运用基于知识管理、协作和社会网络理论与实践的方法，AccessComputing奖项的这一扩展将使早期的和新的关系正式化，形成一个由合作伙伴、合作者和附属机构组成的多层组织结构。将通过跟踪学生参与者的进度以及机构入学和毕业数据来记录残疾人的结果；研究结果将与当地、地区和国家有关残疾人学业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.
