The University of Washington, in collaboration with the University of Las Vegas Nevada, proposes a project - AccessCS10K - to increase the successful participation of students with disabilities in the new Exploring Computer Science (ECS) and Computer Science Principles (CSP) courses. Both courses are designed to introduce the big ideas in computer science and to inspire students from diverse backgrounds to consider computational competence as part of their career plans. This project focuses on the inclusion of students with disabilities. It has two objectives. The first is to build the capacity of ECS and CSP teachers to serve those students with professional development aimed at the CS 10K PD trainers, curricular units, online tutorials, virtual communities of practice for teachers, and real-time, individual teacher support. The second objective is to create accessible materials, both tools (including iterative refinement and deployment of the Quorum language) and curricular units that ECS and CSP teachers and students can use in their classrooms. The work will be led by teams at the University of Washington and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, building on the prior work of the Principal Investigators and experienced partners. Further, the project leaders will work in partnership with many of the current and future CS10K grantees and with developers of accessible tools and curricula to maximize the impact of their work. All students in ECS and CSP classes, regardless of disability, will benefit from more inclusive teaching strategies practiced by their teachers.This project addresses the need to prepare computing educators for diverse students, including those with disabilities, and the need to create tools and curricula that meet the needs of diverse students including those with disabilities. An external evaluator, with the help on an internal evaluator, will track project activities, outputs, and early outcomes as part of the formative evaluation, and will help establish the impact of the interventions as part of the summative evaluation. The evaluation will assess how well CS 10K trainers able to learn and use the AccessCS10K professional development modules and whether CS 10K teachers able to use teaching strategies, individualized support, curricular units, and accessible technologies in their classrooms.

华盛顿大学与内华达大学（University of Las Vegas Nevada）合作，提出了一个项目-AccessCS10K-，以增加残疾学生在新探索计算机科学（ECS）和计算机科学原理（CSP）课程中的成功参与。这两种课程均旨在介绍计算机科学中的重大想法，并激发来自不同背景的学生，以将计算能力视为其职业计划的一部分。该项目的重点是包括残疾学生。它有两个目标。首先是建立ECS和CSP教师的能力，为具有专业发展的学生提供针对CS 10K PD培训师，课程单元，在线教程，教师实践虚拟社区的专业发展和实时教师支持。第二个目标是创建可访问的材料，包括工具（包括迭代性的改进和法定语言的部署）和课程单元，ECS和CSP教师和学生可以在其教室中使用。这项工作将由华盛顿大学和内华达大学拉斯维加斯大学的团队领导，这是在主要研究人员和经验丰富的合作伙伴的先前工作的基础上。此外，项目负责人将与许多当前和未来的CS10K授予者以及可访问工具和课程的开发人员合作，以最大程度地发挥其工作影响。不论残疾人，ECS和CSP课程中的所有学生都将受益于其教师实践的更具包容性的教学策略。该项目解决了为包括残疾人在内的多元化学生准备计算机教育工作者的必要性，以及创建满足包括有残障人士在内的多元化学生需求的工具和课程的需求。在内部评估者的帮助下，外部评估者将作为形成性评估的一部分跟踪项目活动，输出和早期结果，并将有助于确定干预措施作为总结性评估的一部分的影响。评估将评估CS 10K培训师能够学习和使用AccessCS10K专业发展模块以及CS 10K教师是否能够在教室中使用教学策略，个性化支持，课程单位和可访问的技术。
