The Computing Research Association (CRA) proposes a short series of workshops on professional development (PD) and departmental policies for Computer Science (CS) teaching faculty. CS departments nationwide are experiencing significant increases in undergraduate majors and undergraduate course enrollments, resulting in an increased reliance on teaching faculty positions. For many PhD producing departments, positions such as these with academic rank and an expectation of scholarship are new, and the departments are still defining their role and career path opportunities. At the same time, new PhDs, current teaching faculty, and individuals considering a career change seek information about such positions.The series of workshops will include a 1-day PD Workshop for current teaching faculty and 2 half-day Academic Landscape Workshops for graduating PhD students, post-docs and industry professionals considering an academic position. The PD Workshop will be held in conjunction with the SIGCSE 2020 Conference. The workshop will fill a crucial need as departments have limited experience on how to mentor, evaluate, and promote teaching faculty. The workshop will highlight ways to be successful in advancing one's career, build understanding of expectations and opportunities, and provide ways to connect teaching faculty with each other. The Academic Landscape Workshops are designed for those considering teaching faculty positions and will be held in conjunction with conferences attended by a diverse range of participants. The workshops will introduce participants to the different academic teaching faculty careers, increase awareness of the landscape of academic career options in PhD granting departments, and highlight exemplars of successful career paths. They will also discuss such topics as how to best prepare, how to interview, and how to negotiate offers for teaching faculty positions.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.

计算机研究协会（CRA）建议为计算机科学（CS）教师举办一系列关于专业发展（PD）和部门政策的研讨会。全国范围内的CS部门正在经历本科专业和本科课程招生的显着增加，导致对教师职位的依赖增加。对于许多博士生生产部门来说，这些具有学术级别和奖学金期望的职位是新的，各部门仍在定义自己的角色和职业道路机会。与此同时，新博士、在职教师和考虑转行的个人也会寻求有关此类职位的信息。该系列研讨会将包括为在职教师举办的为期1天的PD研讨会和为即将毕业的博士生、博士后和考虑学术职位的行业专业人士举办的2个为期半天的学术景观研讨会。PD研讨会将与SIGCSE 2020会议一起举行。该研讨会将填补一个关键的需求，因为部门在如何指导，评估和促进教学人员的经验有限。该研讨会将强调如何成功地推进一个人的职业生涯，建立期望和机会的理解，并提供相互联系的方式教师。学术景观研讨会是专为那些考虑教师职位，并将与各种与会者参加的会议一起举行。 研讨会将向参与者介绍不同的学术教学教师职业，提高对博士学位授予部门学术职业选择前景的认识，并突出成功职业道路的典范。他们还将讨论如何最好地准备，如何面试，以及如何谈判提供教师职位等主题。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是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的支持。
