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与马里兰大学学院公园分校合作，将开发和评估专业发展活动，重点是提高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名硕士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。第二年，项目工作人员将在CS原则课程中培训经验不足的教师，第三年，领导团队将通过支持举办多个独立资助的区域讲习班来展示可扩展性。拟议中的项目将开发课程材料，创建培训材料，并提高马里兰州高中计算机科学教师的专业知识。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，并增加全州高中学术严谨的CS课程的可用性。这项提议的努力最终将增加马里兰学生对学习和从事计算机科学职业的兴趣。

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.
