San Francisco State University (SFSU) and the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) propose a Research Practitioner Partnership (RPP) to address the lack of qualified computer science (CS) teachers at the high school level and the lack of diversity among high school students in CS courses. The RPP will develop and implement CS4SF, an innovative and scalable program for the professional development (PD) and ongoing support of high school CS teachers, supplying them with the knowledge and skills they need to teach this in-demand subject in a more rigorous manner while engaging a broader swath of students.CSforAll will implement a three-part program. Firstly, a one-week summer professional development course will immerse high school teachers in CS knowledge and evidence-based, inclusive pedagogical strategies. Secondly, a Community of Practice will meet monthly to provide teachers with their own inclusive learning community, offering support throughout the year and the opportunity to regularly interact with SFSU CS professors. Thirdly, teaching assistants, selected from the most talented CS undergraduates at SFSU, will assist teachers in the classroom for 4 to 5 hours a week, deepening their own CS knowledge as they collect student-generated ideas for culturally relevant classroom projects. For this work, SFSU and SFUSD have jointly developed an initial set of research questions: Does the CS4SF model improve high school teachers' mastery of CS concepts and pedagogy, so that they can teach beyond the curriculum and truly engage their students? Does the CS4SF model improve the engagement of female and other students from other underrepresented groups in high school CS courses? What is the potential for sustainability and scalability of the CS4SF model? The strategies identified will be of broad interest as the problems that SFUSD faces today are similar to those faced by many other school districts as they try to ramp up their CS offerings. Over the course of this grant, the RPP will reach 100 teachers, 72 teaching assistants, and 5,000+ high school students.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.

旧金山弗朗西斯科州立大学（SFSU）和旧金山弗朗西斯科联合学区（SFUSD）提出了一个研究实践者伙伴关系（RPP），以解决高中水平缺乏合格的计算机科学（CS）教师和CS课程缺乏高中学生的多样性。该计划将开发和实施CS4SF，这是一个创新和可扩展的计划，旨在为高中CS教师提供专业发展和持续支持，为他们提供所需的知识和技能，以更严格的方式教授这一需求学科，同时吸引更广泛的学生。CSforAll将实施一个由三部分组成的计划。首先，为期一周的暑期专业发展课程将使高中教师沉浸在CS知识和基于证据的包容性教学策略中。其次，实践社区将每月举行会议，为教师提供自己的包容性学习社区，全年提供支持，并有机会定期与SFSU CS教授互动。第三，从SFSU最有才华的CS本科生中选出的教学助理将每周在课堂上协助教师4至5小时，加深他们自己的CS知识，因为他们收集学生产生的想法，用于文化相关的课堂项目。对于这项工作，SFSU和SFUSD共同开发了一套初步的研究问题：CS4SF模型是否提高了高中教师对CS概念和教学法的掌握，使他们能够在课程之外进行教学，真正吸引学生？CS4SF模式是否提高了高中CS课程中女性和其他代表性不足群体的学生的参与度？CS4SF模型的可持续性和可扩展性的潜力是什么？确定的策略将是广泛的兴趣，因为SFUSD今天面临的问题是类似的许多其他学区所面临的，因为他们试图增加其CS产品。在此期间，RPP将达到100名教师，72名教学助理和5，000多名高中学生。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
