The College of St. Scholastica requests funding to expand a summer 2017 professional development program for teachers--Mobile CSP Immersion Week--to include a 2.5-day workshop for school counselors. School counselors can have a large influence on the participation of underrepresented students, enrolling them in computer science courses, exposing them to computing careers, and guiding them in this course of study and job preparation in their post-secondary lives. The workshop will leverage the Counselors for Computing (C4C) program developed at the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT). In the past, Mobile CSP has provided C4C kits and webinars to teachers completing the Mobile CSP professional development course, with the goal of having the teachers engage their school's counselors as allies in the effort to broaden participation in computing. With this workshop, counselors will join their Mobile CSP teacher colleagues for distinct, and also shared, professional learning. The expectation is that schools will be more effective in broadening participation in their CS classes when a team of professionals are working together as a common effort. The workshop will encourage counselors to complete at least 5 follow-up activities, and to carry out events within the 2017-2018 academic year in the five-state Midwest region. Evaluation of the conference attendees (both Mobile CSP teachers and C4C counselors) will be used to determine effectiveness of the training as well as, when applicable, what effect attending professional development together has on recruitment activities at local schools.

圣斯科拉斯蒂卡学院要求提供资金，以扩大2017年夏季教师专业发展计划--流动CSP沉浸周--包括为学校辅导员举办的为期2.5天的研讨会。学校辅导员可以对代表不足的学生的参与产生很大影响，让他们参加计算机科学课程，让他们接触到计算机职业生涯，并指导他们在这一过程中学习和为他们的大专生活做好工作准备。研讨会将利用国家妇女与信息技术中心(NCWIT)开发的顾问计算(C4C)计划。过去，Mobile CSP曾向完成Mobile CSP专业发展课程的教师提供C4C工具包和网络研讨会，目的是让教师与学校的辅导员成为盟友，努力扩大对计算的参与。通过这个工作坊，辅导员将与他们的移动CSP教师同事一起进行独特的、也是共享的专业学习。人们的期望是，当一群专业人士共同努力时，学校将更有效地扩大对CS课程的参与。研讨会将鼓励辅导员完成至少5项后续活动，并在2017-2018学年内在中西部五个州地区开展活动。对与会者(流动CSP教师和C4C辅导员)的评估将被用来确定培训的有效性，以及如果适用的话，共同参加专业发展对当地学校的招聘活动有什么影响。
