EAGER: Research+Practice Collaboratory: CS for All 2018 RPP Workshops

华盛顿大学作为研究+实践合作实验室的牵头组织，提出了一个EAGER项目，以召开三次研讨会，讨论形成和维持研究-实践伙伴关系的战略。RPP已被证明是有效的，在建立知识和实施的教育工作在preK-12设置，他们已被要求申请CSforAll：RPP征集（NSF 17-525）。前两个讲习班将为各团体提供技术援助，帮助它们制定以包容性计算机科学教育为重点的区域方案计划。第三个研讨会将重点加强在2017财年CSforAll：RPP征集下资助的新成立的RPP。前两个研讨会将以2017年成功举办的类似技术援助会议为蓝本。他们将接待利益相关者团体-CS教师，CS教师，学校行政人员，州和地方教育官员，以及当地科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）组织的代表-有兴趣形成RPP，以解决公平，可持续的CS教育。 研讨会活动将帮助与会者确定可由RPP支持的引人注目的问题，设计包括制定和维持稳健RPP的措施的项目，并深入了解RPP可用于制定可为实践和理论提供信息的证据的方式。第三次研讨会将为已经通过2017财年CSforAll：RPP征集（NSF 17-525）获得RPP资金的PI提供额外的技术援助，帮助他们加强合作伙伴关系，更好地了解共同创建合适的研究议程，向其他RPP团队学习，并解决他们遇到的任何组织挑战。它将与2018年扩大参与和教育计算PI和社区会议一起举行。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The University of Washington, as the lead organization of the Research+Practice Collaboratory, proposes an EAGER project to convene three workshops on strategies for forming and sustaining research-practice partnerships (RPPs). RPPs have been shown to be effective in building knowledge about and implementation of education efforts in preK-12 settings and they have been required for applicants to the CSforAll:RPP solicitation (NSF 17-525). The first two workshops will provide technical assistance to groups on the process of forming RPPs focused on inclusive Computer Science (CS) education. The third will focus on strengthening newly formed RPPs that were funded under the FY17 CSforAll:RPP solicitation.The first two workshops will be modeled on similar, successful technical assistance meetings that were held in 2017. They will host groups of stakeholders--CS faculty, CS teachers, school administrators, state and local education officials, and representatives of local Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) organizations--interested in forming an RPP to address equitable, sustainable CS education. The workshop activities will help participants identify compelling questions that can be supported by an RPP, design projects that include measures to develop and sustain robust RPPs, and gain insight into the ways in which RPPs can be leveraged to develop evidence that can inform both practice and theory. The third workshop will provide additional technical assistance to PIs that have already received funding for RPPs through the FY2017 CSforAll:RPP solicitation (NSF 17-525), helping the to strengthen their partnerships, better understand the co-creation of suitable research agendas, learn from other RPP teams, and resolve any organizational challenges they have encountered. It will be held in conjunction with the 2018 Broadening Participation and Education in Computing PI and Community Meeting.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
