The University of Maryland Baltimore County, in collaboration with the University of Maryland College Park, will develop and evaluate professional development activities focused on increasing the expertise of Maryland high school teachers for teaching computer science, with the ultimate goal of increasing the number of rigorous computer science classes offered across the state and the number and diversity of students taking these classes. Experienced higher education faculty and highly effective high school teachers will collaborate to train other high school teachers to develop and offer a college preparatory CS curriculum. In the first year, an initial cohort of 12 master teachers will collaborate with the project leadership team to develop standardized classroom materials based on the CS Principles curriculum and then offer the CS Principles course in their home schools. In the second year, the project staff will train less experienced teachers in the CS Principles curriculum, and in the third year, the leadership team will demonstrate scalability by supporting the delivery of multiple independently funded regional workshops.The proposed project will develop course materials, create training materials, and increase the expertise of high school computer science teachers in Maryland. Master teachers and apprentice teachers will be trained in the new curriculum, increasing the readiness and ability of schools and teachers to adopt and offer the CS Principles curriculum and increasing the availability of academically rigorous CS courses in high schools across the state. The proposed effort will ultimately lead to increased interest of Maryland students in studying and pursuing careers in computer science.

马里兰州巴尔的摩县大学与马里兰州大学帕克分校合作，将开发和评估专业发展活动，重点是增加马里兰州高中教师教授计算机科学的专业知识，最终目标是增加全州提供的严格计算机科学课程的数量以及参加这些课程的学生的数量和多样性。 经验丰富的高等教育教师和高效的高中教师将合作培训其他高中教师开发和提供大学预科CS课程。 在第一年，最初的12名教师将与项目领导团队合作，根据CS原则课程开发标准化的课堂材料，然后在他们的家乡学校提供CS原则课程。 在第二年，项目工作人员将培训经验不足的教师在计算机科学原理课程，并在第三年，领导团队将通过支持多个独立资助的区域研讨会的交付展示可扩展性。拟议的项目将开发课程材料，创建培训材料，并提高高中计算机科学教师的专业知识在马里兰州。 硕士教师和学徒教师将接受新课程的培训，提高学校和教师采用和提供CS原则课程的准备和能力，并在全州高中增加学术严谨的CS课程。 拟议的努力将最终导致马里兰州的学生在学习和追求计算机科学的职业兴趣增加。
