Wisconsin faces increasingly inequitable access to Computer Science (CS) content in schools. Affluent suburban schools add courses, such as CS Principles (CSP), at a record rate. Schools with fewer resources have little or no CS offerings and see meager access diminished as scarce while CS teachers are lured away to industry and the suburbs. Marquette University and The Learning Partnership have already made significant inroads in expanding Wisconsin's CS professional development opportunities for teachers. Prior work over the last five years has provided CS Professional Development to over 1,850 K-5 teachers, reaching over 67,000 school children. Careful assessment will allow the team to explore deeper questions about how prior CS exposure effects students later in the CS pathway, why execution of CS initiatives are so unevenly effective in different parts of the city, and how to strengthen and expand a pathway in a dynamic urban school system.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.

威斯康星州面临越来越不公平的学校中计算机科学（CS）内容。富裕的郊区学校以创纪录的速度添加了CS原则（CSP）等课程。资源较少的学校几乎没有CS产品，并且将微薄的通道视为稀缺，而CS教师被引诱到行业和郊区。马奎特大学和学习伙伴关系已经在扩大威斯康星州的CS专业发展机会方面已经大大涉及。过去五年来，先前的工作为1,850多名K-5教师提供了CS专业发展，达到了67,000多名儿童。仔细的评估将使团队能够探讨有关在CS途径以后如何影响学生如何影响学生在城市不同地区如此有效的原因，以及如何在动态的城市学校体系中加强和扩展一条途径的原因。这是NSF的法定任务的审查和范围的范围，这是通过评估的范围，而这是众所周知的范围。
