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

夏威夷大学(UH)将与夏威夷教育部(HIDoE)合作，开展一项为期3年的研究--夏威夷全民计算机科学原则(CSP)--旨在改进州一级解决计算机科学教育多样性问题的举措。该项目以研究-实践者伙伴关系(RPP)为结构，将在UTeach先前工作的基础上，复制和研究CSP课程的课程和教师专业发展。该项目将与德克萨斯大学及其UTeach专业发展(PD)计划合作，利用其精心策划的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了解和实践，创造一个更多样化的课堂教师队伍，他们可以轻松地将CSP课程纳入他们的课堂，以扩大参与。它将利用UH教员、HIDoE高中教师、UTeach支持技术员和行业/商业导师为高中教师提供技能和战略，以改善CSP和计算问题解决中代表性不足学生的招聘和参与；它将在整个夏威夷州创建网络改进社区(NIC)，以收集和使用有意义的学生和教师人口统计信息，以监测实现计算机科学学习机会公平的战略决策。

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.
