As the nation becomes increasingly diverse, it is important that the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) workforce and body of scholars who will define and implement the K-12 education research agenda include practitioners that reflect that diversity. The University of the District of Columbia (UDC) will convene a Fall 2019 Computer Science for All Researcher Practitioner Partnerships (CSforAll:RPP) Development Workshop in Washington, DC. The National Science Foundation (NSF)'s CSforAll:RPP program focuses on the importance of researcher-practitioner partnerships in supporting computer science (CS) and computational thinking (CT) education. CSforAll empowers our Nation's students to develop skills and competencies in problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration that will help them excel in today's increasingly digital and computational world. As a public, historically black and land-grant institution, UDC's responsibility is to build a diverse generation of competitive, civically engaged scholars and leaders. The CSforALL:RPP workshop builds on UDC's culture of teaching and learning as well as on the core values of collaboration and innovation. Through targeted outreach, UDC will engage more minority-serving institutions in the CSforALL:RPP initiative. Workshop teams will receive information, guidance, and access to resources they will need to enhance the capacity of their schools to produce successful CS/CT education outcomes for diverse groups of students.In partnership with NSF-funded Research+Practice Collaboratory, UDC's project staff will coordinate the event logistics for up to 100 workshop attendees. Participants will include three- to four-person teams of CS education researchers and preK-12 practitioners (teachers, administrators, and counselors), along with other community and industry partners. Logistical planning will include participant team recruitment and registration; arranging meeting room space, catering, and A/V support; and providing reimbursements for travel costs for eligible participants. The 1.5-day workshop will engage teams with different models of RPPs, strategies and tools for forming and maintaining RPPs, and data collection and analysis approaches well-suited to RPPs. Workshop participants will learn how to design and lead RPPs to provide high school teachers with the preparation, professional development and ongoing support that they need to teach rigorous computer science courses; preK-8 teachers with the instructional materials and preparation they need to integrate CS and CT into their teaching; and schools and districts the resources needed to define and evaluate multi-grade pathways in CS and CT. Minority institutions are important incubators of STEM teachers of color--RPPs will assist them in developing/sustaining exemplary teacher education programs, uniquely tailored to equip teachers committed to preparing and inspiring more students from diverse groups to consider computer science careers which in turn, will contribute to America's global competitiveness.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.

随着国家变得越来越多样化，重要的是科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）劳动力和学者谁将定义和实施K-12教育研究议程的机构包括反映这种多样性的从业者。哥伦比亚哥伦比亚特区（UDC）的大学将召开秋季2019计算机科学为所有研究人员从业者伙伴关系（CSforAll：RPP）在华盛顿，DC发展研讨会。美国国家科学基金会（NSF）的CSforAll：RPP计划专注于研究人员-实践者伙伴关系在支持计算机科学（CS）和计算思维（CT）教育中的重要性。CSforAll使我们国家的学生能够发展解决问题，批判性思维，创造力和协作方面的技能和能力，这将帮助他们在当今日益数字化和计算化的世界中脱颖而出。作为一个公共的，历史上的黑人和赠地机构，UDC的责任是建立一个有竞争力的，公民参与的学者和领导人的多样化的一代。CSforALL：RPP工作坊建立在UDC的教学文化以及协作和创新的核心价值观之上。通过有针对性的外展活动，UDC将使更多为少数群体服务的机构参与CSforALL：RPP倡议。研讨会团队将获得信息，指导，并获得他们需要的资源，以提高他们的学校为不同群体的学生提供成功的CS/CT教育成果的能力。与NSF资助的研究+实践合作实验室合作，UDC的项目工作人员将协调多达100名研讨会与会者的活动后勤。参与者将包括三到四人的CS教育研究人员和preK-12从业者（教师，管理人员和辅导员）团队，沿着与其他社区和行业合作伙伴。后勤规划将包括参与者团队的招募和登记;安排会议室空间、餐饮和A/V支持;以及为符合条件的参与者报销差旅费。为期一天半的研讨会将邀请具有不同RPP模式的团队参与，制定和维护RPP的战略和工具，以及非常适合RPP的数据收集和分析方法。研讨会参与者将学习如何设计和领导RPP，为高中教师提供教授严格的计算机科学课程所需的准备、专业发展和持续支持; K-8预科教师提供将CS和CT整合到教学中所需的教学材料和准备;学校和学区提供定义和评估CS和CT多年级途径所需的资源。少数民族机构是有色人种STEM教师的重要孵化器-RPPs将协助他们开发/维持示范性教师教育计划，专门为致力于准备和激励更多来自不同群体的学生考虑计算机科学职业的教师量身定制，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过评估被认为值得支持使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
