CS 10K: Collaborative Research: A Structured CS Principles Approach to Professional Development for Maryland High School Teachers

马里兰大学巴尔的摩县分校将与马里兰大学学院园区合作，开发和评估职业发展活动，重点是增加马里兰州高中教师在教授计算机科学方面的专业知识，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，以开发和提供大学预科CS课程。在第一年，最初的12名硕士教师将与项目领导团队合作，根据CS原理课程开发标准化的课堂材料，然后在他们所在的学校提供CS原理课程。在第二年，项目工作人员将培训CS原理课程中经验较少的教师，在第三年，领导团队将通过支持多个独立资助的地区工作坊的交付来展示可扩展性。拟议的项目将开发课程材料，创建培训材料，并增加马里兰州高中计算机科学教师的专业知识。硕士教师和见习教师将接受新课程的培训，增加学校和教师采用和提供CS原则课程的准备和能力，并增加全州高中学习严格的CS课程的可获得性。拟议中的努力最终将导致马里兰州学生对学习和从事计算机科学职业的兴趣增加。

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.
