The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) in collaboration with the North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS) will partner with surrounding school districts to build a Research-Practitioner Partnership (RPP). High schools struggle to not train teachers to offer CS courses, but also to diversify the students taking computing courses. This project will develop and offer an online professional development course for high school teachers to prepare them to teach computer science to diverse learners including learners from underserved and underrepresented groups. This project will advance the use of automated graders as well as culturally responsive instructional materials to teach computing. In addition, this project will prepare the teachers with strategies to effectively teach computing online which is essential to our current society and to reach students who do not otherwise have opportunities to study computing. This RPP partnership will leverage the AP Computer Science A (APCSA) course offered online by NCVPS throughout North Carolina. The project team seeks to enhance the teaching of Computer Science content using online resources with a long-term goal to increase participation in high school courses by students from traditionally underrepresented groups. This project will address one of the structural constraints (e.g., not enough teachers) faced when broadening participation using automated assessment tools. Furthermore, to make computing relevant to a diverse student population, they plan to create culturally responsive teaching materials and train teachers on their use. The project staff will: (1) foster the development of an RPP with NCVPS teachers, (2) develop and deliver an online course focused on how to teach Computer Science online with a focus on Broadening Participation, (3) develop teaching materials to train teachers on how to use automated graders in CS courses, and (4) develop teaching materials to train teachers how to teach CS to culturally and racially diverse students. This project will expand the offering of APCSA to districts and schools that traditionally have been under served, with the goal to increase the number of students from underrepresented and underserved groups taking the APCSA course.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.

北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校（UNCC）与北卡罗来纳虚拟公立学校（NCVPS）合作，将与周边学区合作建立研究-从业者伙伴关系（RPP）。高中不仅要努力培训教师开设计算机科学课程，还要使参加计算机课程的学生多样化。该项目将为高中教师开发并提供一门在线专业发展课程，帮助他们为不同的学习者（包括来自服务不足和代表性不足群体的学习者）教授计算机科学做好准备。这个项目将推动使用自动评分以及文化响应的教学材料来教授计算机。此外，该项目将为教师提供有效的在线计算机教学策略，这对我们当前的社会至关重要，并为那些没有机会学习计算机的学生提供帮助。该RPP合作伙伴关系将利用北卡罗莱纳州NCVPS在网上提供的AP计算机科学A （APCSA）课程。项目小组力求利用在线资源加强计算机科学内容的教学，其长期目标是增加传统上代表性不足群体的学生对高中课程的参与。该项目将解决在使用自动化评估工具扩大参与时面临的结构性限制之一（例如，教师不足）。此外，为了使计算机与不同的学生群体相关，他们计划编写符合文化的教材，并培训教师如何使用计算机。项目人员将：(1)与NCVPS教师一起促进RPP的发展，(2)开发并提供一门在线课程，重点是如何在线教授计算机科学，重点是扩大参与，(3)开发教材，培训教师如何在计算机科学课程中使用自动评分，(4)开发教材，培训教师如何向文化和种族不同的学生教授计算机科学。该项目将把APCSA课程扩展到传统上服务不足的地区和学校，目标是增加来自代表性不足和服务不足群体的学生参加APCSA课程的人数。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。
