CS 10K: Leading the Way to CS10K: Assessing a Just-in-Time Professional Development Approach for Teacher Knowledge Growth in Computer Science

普渡大学与Project Lead the Way（PLTW）合作，提出了一个名为“Leading the Way to CS10 K：Assessing a Just-in-Time Professional Development Approach for Teacher Knowledge Growth in Computer Science”的项目。“该项目将（i）制定和实施一种高质量的专业发展方法，将面对面的培训与大规模的持续在线即时支持相结合;以及（ii）评估专业发展在提高教师的知识，技能和态度（KSA）方面的有效性。PLTW是一家非营利组织，已在美国4,700多所学校成功实施了创新和严格的STEM课程，并培训了10,500名STEM教师。PLTW正在引入一个新的计算机科学和软件工程（CSE）课程，该课程与CS原则框架保持一致。CSE课程旨在培养学生的计算思维，并介绍培养创造力的计算工具。实施这门新课程的大型学校网络为大量教师（包括几乎没有计算机科学背景的教师）提供了实施和研究专业发展的机会。这个大型项目将建立一个以证据为基础的专业发展计划，以提高教师教授计算机科学的知识，并将提供经验验证的最佳实践，为教师提供计算机科学专业发展，特别是那些计算机科学背景有限的教师。

Purdue University, in partnership with Project Lead the Way (PLTW), proposes a project entitled "Leading the Way to CS10K: Assessing a Just-in-Time Professional Development Approach for Teacher Knowledge Growth in Computer Science." The project will (i) develop and implement a high-quality professional development approach that incorporates face-to-face training coupled with continuous online just-in-time support at a large-scale; and (ii) assess the effectiveness of that professional development at improving teachers' Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes (KSAs) for teaching computer science. PLTW is a non-profit organization that has successfully implemented innovative and rigorous STEM curriculum in over 4,700 schools and trained 10,500 STEM teachers across the United States. PLTW is introducing a new Computer Science and Software Engineering (CSE) course, which aligns with the CS Principles framework. The CSE course aims to develop students' computational thinking and introduce computational tools that foster creativity. The large network of schools implementing this new course provides the opportunity to implement and study professional development for a large number of teachers, including teachers with little CS background. This large-scale project will establish an evidence-based professional development program to improve teachers' knowledge to teach computer science, and it will deliver empirically validated best practices for providing computer science professional development to teachers, especially those with limited computer science background.
