Cleveland State University (CSU) proposes to create a knowledge base, focused on equity and access for all students, that will guide implementation of CSforAll initiatives in schools and districts across the country. CSU has been assisting the Cleveland Municipal School District (CMSD) as it begins implementation of computer science (CS) for all students in district high schools starting in the 2017-18 academic year. CSU and CMSD are intentionally focusing on all students with the goal of creating a model that, not only includes, but is targeted towards students from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in CS--students from African American, Hispanic and low socio-economic status populations. The effort is built on an existing research practitioner partnership (RPP) that includes CSU, CMSD, the Cleveland Foundation, and the NEOSTEM Ecosystem. The central aim of the research is to investigate whether the implementation proceeds in a manner that preserves equity across students. The expected outcomes include (1) the creation of a replicable model for a CSforAll implementation, in diverse and high-needs school districts, with equity as a primary design consideration, (2) an increased research base on mechanisms for addressing achievement gaps among students from groups typically underrepresented in CS, (3) a set of "adoption guides" for principals and administrators that clearly outline various issues that arise when implementing CSforAll in schools, and document best practices, including course coding, teacher credentialing, scheduling, advising, etc., and a pathway for CS teachers to receive highly qualified teacher status in Ohio.

克利夫兰州立大学（CSU）建议建立一个知识库，重点是所有学生的公平和机会，这将指导全国学校和地区实施CSforAll倡议。CSU一直在协助克利夫兰市学区（CMSD），因为它开始在2017-18学年开始为所有学生在地区高中实施计算机科学（CS）。CSU和CMSD有意关注所有学生，目标是创建一个模型，不仅包括，而且针对传统上在CS中代表性不足的群体的学生-来自非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔和低社会经济地位人口的学生。这项工作是建立在现有的研究实践者伙伴关系（RPP），其中包括CSU，CMSD，克利夫兰基金会和NEOSTEM生态系统。研究的中心目的是调查实施过程中是否保持学生之间的公平。预期成果包括：（1）在多样化和高需求的学区创建一个可复制的“人人享有社区服务”实施模式，将公平作为设计的主要考虑因素;（2）增加对解决社区服务中代表性通常不足的群体的学生成绩差距的机制的研究基础，（3）为校长和行政人员制定一套“采用指南”，明确概述在学校实施CSforAll时出现的各种问题，并记录最佳做法，包括课程编码、教师资格认证、时间安排，咨询等，以及CS教师在俄亥俄州获得高素质教师地位的途径。
