This project launches crucial exploratory research and development activities to (1) birth a Community of Practice of K-12 CS teachers in the US centered on a shared need for quality assessments and building CS teachers' assessment capabilities and (2) lay the foundation for a sustainable technology hub (created for and by teachers along with researchers and technologists) of rich, innovative assessments organized by CS standards, grade, concepts, curriculum, and other relevant criteria for intuitive use by teachers of all experience levels. The project will be carried out by an interdisciplinary leadership team from Looking Glass Ventures, LLC (creator of the National Science Foundation funded assessment authoring and delivery platform "Edfinity") and Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA), in collaboration with K-12 CS teachers, the CSForAll community, and experts in the field (as advisors). Key activities include: (a) bringing together teacher experts to aggregate, create, taxonomize CS assessments; (b) creating a classroom assessment training module for use in teacher training and workshops; (c) planning and conducting multiple teacher workshops co-located at conferences and other venues where the K-12 CS community convenes; and (d) conducting research on the development of a community of practice and classroom use of CS assessments on Edfinity. The research and development activities will be guided by the following questions: (RQ1) To what extent does the Edfinity platform and its features support development of an assessments hub of rich formative and summative CS assessment that covers CS standards, grade levels, and topics, and can be created and used by teachers for sharing and classroom teaching? (RQ2) What is the value of the workshops and the assessments hub for teacher community engagement and for supporting shifts in teachers' vision for, and participation in, an assessment-driven community of practice of CS teachers? (RQ3) (a) To what extent does the use of the assessments hub and the classroom assessment training help teachers' confidence around, and understanding of, formative assessments of CS? (b) How do teachers' classroom practices change with the use of formative assessments? (c) How does the use of formative assessments in the hub help teachers better track student understanding and their ability to get timely feedback about 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.

该项目启动了关键的探索性研究和开发活动，以（1）在美国建立一个K-12 CS教师实践社区，该社区以质量评估和建设CS教师评估能力的共同需求为中心，（2）为可持续的技术中心奠定基础（由教师沿着与研究人员和技术人员一起创建）丰富的，创新的评估，由CS标准，等级，概念，课程，以及其他相关标准，供所有经验水平的教师直观使用。该项目将由Looking Glass Ventures，LLC（美国国家科学基金会资助的评估创作和交付平台“Edmund”的创建者）和计算机科学教师协会（CSTA）的跨学科领导团队与K-12 CS教师，CSForAll社区和该领域的专家（作为顾问）合作进行。主要活动包括：（a）召集教师专家，对CS评估进行汇总、创建和分类;（B）创建课堂评估培训模块，用于教师培训和研讨会;（c）在K-12 CS社区召开的会议和其他场所规划和举办多个教师研讨会;及（d）研究如何发展实践社群，以及如何在课堂上使用教育科的计算机科学评核。研究和开发活动将以下列问题为指导：（RQ 1）Editorial平台及其功能在多大程度上支持开发一个涵盖CS标准、年级和主题的丰富的形成性和总结性CS评估的评估中心，并可由教师创建和使用以供分享和课堂教学？(RQ2)研讨会和评估中心对教师社区参与和支持教师对评估驱动的CS教师实践社区的愿景和参与的转变有什么价值？(RQ3)（a）使用评估中心和课堂评估培训在多大程度上有助于教师对中文发展性评估的信心和理解？(b)教师的课堂实践如何随着形成性评价的使用而改变？(c)在中心中使用形成性评估如何帮助教师更好地跟踪学生的理解以及他们及时获得学生反馈的能力？该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得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的支持。
