Collaborative Research AccessCSforAll Including Students

项目摘要

The University of Washington, in collaboration with the University of Nevada Las Vegas, proposes AccessCSforAll, a project to develop strategies, tools, and curricula needed to bring an accessible version of Advanced Placement (AP) Computer Science Principles (CSP) to students, including those with disabilities. Approximately 7.5 million K-12 students are identified as having a disability under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. These students should have access to quality computer science education, but there are often significant barriers, including inaccessible tools (for example, programming languages, integrated development environments not accessible to screen readers), or curricula that include exclusively visual program output. Civil rights legislation requires that curriculum be offered in a format that is accessible to students with disabilities.AccessCSforAll will create a researcher practitioner partnership (RPP) that includes practitioners at schools that serve students who are deaf, blind, or learning disabled, as well as schools that serve mainstream students. Building on previous work with more than 30 CS10K projects, AccessforAll will provide professional development for CS teachers that includes strategies for supporting students with disabilities. It will partner with The College Board to ensure that they are ready to properly evaluate students with disabilities, and it will partner with developers of accessible tools and curricula. The project will develop and maintain resources for computer science teachers to help them better include students with disabilities in their classes, and to showcase solutions for universal design in tools, curriculum, and pedagogy that appeal both to general education students as well as students with disabilities. The project will build a community that is focused on accessible K-12 computer science education.

华盛顿大学与内华达大学拉斯维加斯大学合作，提议AccessCsforall，该项目是一个开发策略，工具和课程的项目，以将高级安置（AP）计算机科学原理（CSP）带给包括残疾人的学生。根据《残疾人教育法》（IFES）或《康复法》第504条，大约有750万K-12学生被确定为残疾。这些学生应该可以访问优质的计算机科学教育，但是通常会有重大障碍，包括无法访问的工具（例如，编程语言，屏幕读取者无法访问的集成开发环境）或包括独家视觉程序输出的课程。民权立法要求以残疾学生可以使用的格式提供课程。Accesscsforall将建立一个研究人员从业人员合作伙伴关系（RPP），其中包括服务于聋哑，盲人或学习障碍的学生的从业者，以及为主教学生服务的学校。在先前与30多个CS10K项目的工作的基础上，AccessForall将为CS教师提供专业发展，其中包括支持残疾学生的策略。它将与大学董事会合作，以确保他们准备适当评估残疾学生，并将与可访问的工具和课程的开发人员合作。该项目将开发和维护计算机科学教师的资源，以帮助他们更好地包括班级的残疾学生，并展示有关工具，课程和教学法中通用设计的解决方案，这些解决方案都吸引了通识教育学生和残疾学生。该项目将建立一个专注于可访问的K-12计算机科学教育的社区。
