Building State Capacity for K-12 Computer Science Leadership National Conference

马萨诸塞州教育发展中心(EDC)的马萨诸塞州计算能力网络(MassCAN)建议，通过将来自10个州的多部门团队聚集在一起，满足全国对计算机科学(CS)教育更具战略性和系统性的需求，这些州在制定战略方法方面表现出了领导力，以影响全州的计算机科学(CS)教育。马斯坎/EDC项目小组将综合各州的战略方法并开发有效战略行动的多维模式，然后将这些模式传播给其他国家。在为期两天的研讨会和四次为期一天的后续会议(在一年中进行)期间，10个小组将分享最佳做法，应对共同挑战，并建设他们继续领导的能力。研讨会将侧重于各州已确定为战略计划关键的四个方面：(1)向全州领导层提供信息，(2)吸引商业领袖，(3)创建基础广泛的联盟来领导州K-12 CS教育，以及(4)确保公平是所有实施战略的中心原则。

The Massachusetts Computing Attainment Network (MassCAN) at Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC), proposes to address the national need for a more strategic and systemic approach to computer science (CS) education by bringing together multi-sector teams from 10 states that have demonstrated leadership in developing strategic approaches to effect statewide impact on K-12 CS education. The MassCAN/EDC project team will synthesize the states' strategic approaches and develop multi-dimensional models for effective strategic action, which they will then be disseminated to other states.During the two-day Workshop and four one-day follow-up sessions (spread out over the year), the 10 teams will share Best Practices, address common challenges, and build their capacity for continued leadership. The Workshop will focus on four dimensions that states have identified as key to a strategic plan: (1) informing state-wide leadership, (2) engaging business leaders, (3) creating broad-based coalitions to lead state K-12 CS education, and (4) ensuring that equity is a central principle of all implementation strategies.
