Michigan State University, in partnership with the Oakland Intermediate School District and the American Institute for Research, proposes a project--CT4EDU--that will design, implement, and assess a high-quality, integrated curriculum, and professional development that supports elementary school teachers in embedding computational thinking (CT) into their classrooms. Currently exposure to CT is too often limited to students participating in an accelerated curriculum (i.e. gifted and talented) or in after school activities (i.e. coding clubs). This is a highly inequitable system in which only those students who have the resources and access can build on CT in their elementary years. By embedding CT into 3rd to 5th grade, in-school science and mathematics curriculum, this project aims to give all students early access to computing.This proposal will establish a Research Practitioner Partnership (RPP) using a Network Improvement Community approach to identifying problems of practice and points of opportunity in curriculum/teaching practices where CT can intersect with science and mathematics at the elementary level. Teachers, curriculum directors, and researchers will co-design CT activities and lesson plans in the context of their elementary school classrooms. They will also collaborate in addressing equity issues around engaging historically underrepresented students in CT, focusing on student participation in classroom discourse during CT activities. Finally, the researchers will examine the impact of the CT curriculum on student thinking and teacher practices around computing.

密歇根州立大学与奥克兰中级学区和美国研究所合作，提出了一个项目——CT4EDU——该项目将设计、实施和评估一个高质量的综合课程和专业发展，以支持小学教师将计算思维（CT）融入他们的课堂。目前，接触CT的学生往往仅限于参加速成课程（即天才和天才）或课外活动（即编程俱乐部）的学生。这是一个非常不公平的系统，只有那些拥有资源和途径的学生才能在小学阶段学习计算机科学。通过将CT嵌入到三至五年级的学校科学和数学课程中，该项目旨在让所有学生尽早接触计算机。该提案将建立一个研究实践者伙伴关系（RPP），使用网络改进社区的方法来确定实践中的问题和课程/教学实践中的机会点，使CT与初级水平的科学和数学交叉。教师、课程主任和研究人员将在他们的小学教室中共同设计CT活动和课程计划。双方还将合作解决有关让历史上代表性不足的学生参与CT的公平问题，重点是学生在CT活动期间参与课堂讨论。最后，研究人员将研究计算机计算机课程对学生思维和教师计算机实践的影响。
