2nd Convening on Computer Science Education for Native Students

美国印第安人科学与工程学会（AISES）提议举办第二次会议，主要利益相关者参与并致力于改善土著学生的计算机科学教育。第一次会议于2019年3月举行，主要侧重于通过召集一小群利益相关者来了解挑战并确定需要改进的领域。根据这些参与者的回应，AISES建议通过扩大利益相关者的参与来推进这一努力，不仅要确定障碍，还要开始制定解决方案，建立网络，并通过连接那些访问受限的人，并通过创建新的，更合适的资源来满足土著学生和土著教师和学校的需求。第二次会议将于2019年10月13日至14日举行，紧接在威斯康星州密尔沃基举行的2019年AISES全国会议。AISES将招募召集与会者，针对关键利益相关者和以前的与会者，并对其网络进行外展，并向合作伙伴网络发出邀请。提议召开会议的目的是：(1)扩大参与的参与者，包括更多的教师和行政人员，非营利性计算机科学教育组织的代表，以及部落教育界的其他成员；(2)制定详细的行动计划，并制定实施路线图。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，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 American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) proposes to host a second convening of key stakeholders engaged in and committed to improving Computer Science education for Native students. The first convening, held in March of 2019, focused primarily on understanding challenges and identifying areas for improvement by convening a small group of stakeholders. Based on the responses of those participants, AISES proposes to advance the effort by engaging an expanded set of stakeholders to not only identify barriers but to begin developing solutions, building networks, and realizing resources both by connecting those with limited access and by creating new, more appropriate resources to meet the needs of Native students and Native-serving teachers and schools. This second convening will take place October 13-14, 2019, immediately following the 2019 AISES National Conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. AISES will recruit convening attendees, targeting key stakeholders, previous attendees, and conducting outreach to its networks and extending invitations to partner networks. The objectives of the proposed convening are to: (1) expand the set of engaged participants to include additional teachers and administrators, representatives of CS education non-profit organizations, and other members of the tribal education community and (2) develop detailed plans of action and create a road map for implementation.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.
