CS10K:CS1C@OC-Building a Local Area Network of Computer Science Teachers

加州大学欧文分校(UCI)名为CS1C@OC的项目将为加州奥兰治县(OC)的在职教师提供一个学习计划，以满足加州新的计算机科学教师认证途径。尽管学生需要学习基本的计算机科学技能，但很少有K-12学生能够接触到严格的计算机科学课程。CSI仍然是特权知识，改善对这种知识的获取是21世纪的主要经济安全和社会正义问题之一。CS社区一直在努力克服机会和公平的问题，尽管在教学工具、教学方法和标准方面取得了一些巨大的进步。但是，如果没有CS教师的认证途径和教师培训计划，这些成就都不能广泛实施或可持续，特别是对于那些在服务不足的社区任教的教师。CS1C@OC将专门为加州新的CS补充授权制定这样的CS教师培训计划。CS1C@0C旨在(1)增加在职教师的CS内容知识及其能力和对以循证为基础的教学实践的信心，以向不同学生教授计算机科学；(2)增加不同学生在计算思维和计算机科学原理方面的知识和技能，以及他们对参加更多CS课程的兴趣；以及(3)提高奥兰治县学校提供CS课程的能力。CS1C@OC将招聘和培训100名中学教师--我们在CS10K项目中的份额(OC约占全国人口的10%)--主要来自为代表性不足的人口服务的低收入社区，优先考虑与学校一起致力于教授探索计算机科学(ECS)和/或计算机科学原理(CSP)的教师。UCI将提供计算机科学内容和教学方面的暑期课程，以满足加州新批准的计算机科学补充授权(Pi Richardson与加州教师资格认证委员会共同提出和开发)的要求，同时强调已被证明对女性和来自低收入、代表性不足社区的学生成功的计算机科学教学方法。这项计划亦会为参与计划的教师和现有的社区教师发展一个混合型专业学习社区，让他们可以分享资讯和经验，继续互相学习，并在整个学年有进一步发展个人和专业发展的机会。该项目将评估对教师学习和发展的影响，以及对学生学习和态度变化的影响。

The University of California Irvine (UCI) project, called CS1C@OC, will provide in-service teachersin Orange County (OC), California a program of study that will satisfy California's new teachercertification pathway in Computer Science. Despite the demonstrated need for students to learnfoundational computer science skills, few K-12 students have access to rigorous CS courses. CSremains privileged knowledge, and improving access to this knowledge is one of the majoreconomic security and social justice issues of the 21st century. The CS community has struggled toovercome issues of access and equity, although some enormous strides have come in teaching tools,pedagogies, and standards. But none of these accomplishments can be broadly implemented orsustainable without certification pathways for CS teachers and teacher preparation programs,especially for those teaching in underserved communities. CS1C@OC will develop such a CSteacher preparation program, specifically for California's new CS Supplementary Authorization.CS1C@0C aims to (1) increase in-service teachers' CS content knowledge and their competence andconfidence in evidence-based pedagogical practices for teaching computer science to diverselearners; (2) increase diverse students' knowledge and skills in computational thinking andcomputer science principles as well as their interest in taking more CS courses; and (3) increase thecapacity of Orange County schools to provide CS courses. CS1C@OC will recruit and train 100secondary school teachers--our share of the CS10K project (OC has approximately 10% of thenation's population)--largely from low-income communities serving underrepresentedpopulations, with preference given to teachers who, along with their school, make a commitment toteach Exploring Computer Science (ECS) and/or Computer Science Principles (CSP). UCI willprovide summer courses in CS content and pedagogy that will satisfy the requirements forCalifornia's newly-approved Computer Science Supplementary Authorization (which PI Richardsonproposed and developed along with the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing) whileemphasizing CS instructional approaches that have proven successful with females and studentsfrom low-income, underrepresented communities. The project will also develop a hybridprofessional learning community (PLC) for participating teachers and including existing OC CSteachers, so they can share information and experiences, continue to learn from each other, andhave further opportunities to develop themselves both personally and professionally throughoutthe school year. The project will evaluate impact on teacher learning and development as well asimpact on student learning and attitude changes.
