CSP4Hawaii: Deployment of Computer Science Principles Courses within Secondary Schools in Hawaii

夏威夷大学（UH）与夏威夷教育部（HIDoE）合作，将开展为期3年的研究-计算机科学原则（CSP）在夏威夷（CSP 4夏威夷）-旨在改善州级举措，以解决计算机科学教育的多样性。该项目的结构为研究-实践伙伴关系（RPP），将复制和研究CSP课程的课程和教师专业发展，基于UTeach以前的工作。该项目将与德克萨斯大学及其UTeach专业发展（PD）计划合作，利用其策划的CSP课程，最佳实践和资源。它将扩大教师对计算机科学原理的知识和实践，创造一个更加多样化的课堂教师群体，他们可以轻松地将CSP课程整合到他们的课堂中，以扩大参与。它将使用UH教师，HIDoE高中教师，UTeach支持技术人员和工业/商业导师，为高中教师提供技能和策略，以改善CSP和计算问题解决中代表性不足的学生的招聘和参与;它将创建网络改进社区（NIC）在整个夏威夷州收集和使用有意义的学生和教师人口统计信息，以监测战略决策-有利于实现计算机科学学习的机会均等。

The University of Hawaii (UH), in collaboration with the Hawaii Department of Education (HIDoE), will conduct a 3-year study - Computer Science Principles (CSP) for All in Hawaii (CSP4Hawaii) - aimed at improving state-level initiatives to address diversity in computer science education. The project, structured as research-practitioner partnership (RPP), will replicate and study curriculum and teacher professional development for a CSP course, based on previous work by UTeach. It will identify and remediate barriers to participation of underrepresented groups.The project will collaborate with the University of Texas and their UTeach Professional Development (PD) program to utilize its curated CSP curriculum, best practices, and resources. It will expand teacher knowledge of, and practices with, computer science principles, creating a more diverse pool of classroom teachers who can comfortably integrate CSP coursework into their classrooms to broaden participation. It will use UH faculty, HIDoE high school teachers, UTeach support technicians and industry/business mentors to provide high school teachers with the skills and strategies to improve recruitment and engagement of underrepresented students in CSP and computational problem solving; and it will create Networked Improvement communities (NIC) throughout the State of Hawaii to gather and use meaningful student and teacher demographic information to monitor strategic decision-making for achieving equity ofopportunity for computer science learning.
