The University of Alabama Tuscaloosa, in collaboration with Duke University and Rutgers University, propose a project aimed at infusing Collaborative Learning (CL) into the new AP Computer Science Principles (CSP) courses. The curriculum framework for CSP was designed to be engaging to a broad and diverse group of students. However, curriculum alone is not enough to ensure student engagement: the most interesting and innovative curriculum can still be taught in a disengaged manner. The learning science literature on CL has shown that it increases class participation and student learning while also promoting diversity in a manner that supports the differentiated instruction needed to engage students who have mixed abilities. This project seeks to understand how the best practices of CL can be applied across the CSP curriculum framework and community.This project will provide deep professional development opportunities for CSP teachers through face to face training and to create a publicly available collection of CL strategies applied to the CSP context. The project will connect the CL strategies within a series of 36 lesson plans, a teacher workbook, a YouTube video channel with examples on using CL strategies, while also providing direct professional development during an intensive week-long workshop. The project will directly reach 180 teachers but the developed materials will be disseminated through the CS Community.

亚拉巴马塔斯卡卢萨大学与杜克大学和罗格斯大学合作，提出了一个项目，旨在注入协作学习（CL）到新的AP计算机科学原理（CSP）课程。CSP的课程框架旨在吸引广泛而多样化的学生群体。然而，单靠课程并不足以确保学生的参与：最有趣和最具创新性的课程仍然可以以一种脱离的方式教授。关于CL的学习科学文献表明，它增加了课堂参与和学生学习，同时也促进了多样性，支持有混合能力的学生参与所需的差异化教学。本项目旨在了解如何将合作学习的最佳实践应用于CSP课程框架和社区。本项目将通过面对面培训为CSP教师提供深入的专业发展机会，并创建一个适用于CSP背景的合作学习策略的公开集合。该项目将在一系列36个课程计划，教师工作手册，YouTube视频频道中使用CL策略的例子，同时还在为期一周的密集研讨会中提供直接的专业发展。该项目将直接惠及180名教师，但编写的材料将通过社区服务社区传播。
