Portland State University, in partnership with the University of Oregon and Tigard Tualatin School District, proposes a project--Computer Science (CS) for Oregon--that aims to reboot high school CS education in Oregon with a statewide initiative to provide more equitable access and participation in high school computer science courses. The project will target schools with significant populations of students under-served by Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education in urban, suburban, and rural environments. It will engage counselors, administrators, and teachers in a Research-Practitioner Partnership. CS for Oregon will identify and investigate the problems of practice that arise when introducing the Exploring Computer Science (ECS) curriculum statewide. Through this award, the proposers seek to shift the state strategy for computer science education from CS in every district to CS for every student.The project team brings together the expertise of a computer science researcher and university administrator, an education researcher focused on inclusive computer science curriculum development, and a high school teacher who has been engaged statewide efforts to improve STEM education. This project builds on significant state investment in CS teacher professional development. It will prepare teachers with computer science conceptual knowledge, inquiry-based instructional skills, and culturally responsive pedagogy. It will institutionalize CS and Computational Thinking (CT) education by examining the key barriers and opportunities for CS education at the school, district, regional, and state levels. The project will also provide Counselors for Computing workshops to prepare counselors and administrators on strategies to recruit historically underrepresented students to ECS. In addition, the project will develop curriculum for teacher preparation programs at the University of Oregon and Portland State University that incorporates CT into existing education technology courses taken by pre-service teachers. Together these efforts can inform other states seeking to identify whole-school support strategies to broaden participation in computing.

波特兰州立大学与俄勒冈州大学和Tigard Tualatin学区合作，提出了一个项目--俄勒冈州计算机科学（CS）--旨在重新启动俄勒冈州的高中计算机科学教育，在全州范围内提供更公平的机会和参与高中计算机科学课程。该项目将针对城市、郊区和农村环境中科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）教育服务不足的大量学生的学校。 它将使辅导员，管理人员和教师参与研究实践伙伴关系。俄勒冈州的CS将确定和调查在全州范围内引入探索计算机科学（ECS）课程时出现的实践问题。 通过该奖项，提案者寻求将国家计算机科学教育战略从每个地区的CS转变为每个学生的CS。项目团队汇集了计算机科学研究人员和大学管理人员、专注于包容性计算机科学的教育研究人员的专业知识科学课程开发，以及一位致力于全州范围内努力改善STEM教育的高中教师。该项目建立在国家对CS教师专业发展的重大投资的基础上。它将为教师提供计算机科学概念知识，基于探究的教学技能和文化响应的教学法。 它将通过研究CS教育在学校，地区，区域和州一级的主要障碍和机会，使CS和计算思维（CT）教育制度化。该项目还将提供辅导员计算讲习班，准备辅导员和管理员的战略，以招募历史上代表性不足的学生ECS。 此外，该项目还将为俄勒冈州大学和波特兰州立大学的教师准备项目开发课程，将计算机技术纳入职前教师现有的教育技术课程。这些努力可以为其他寻求确定全校支持战略以扩大计算参与的州提供信息。
