The University of California, Merced in collaboration with local school administration officials, teacher preparation program staff, and both in-service and pre-service teachers, will develop a Research Practitioner Partnership focused on High School. The goal of the project is to create a self-sustaining and scalable professional development program, called START UP SJV, to support high school teachers who teach Computer Science. The START UP SJV program will aim to help teachers improve their own computer programming and computational thinking skills, so that they can better teach their students.The START UP SJV project will develop an online and supported educational and engagement platform called Compass to leverage existing tools and curriculum from ECS and TEALS, and set up the materials with accompanying exercises on the online Compass educational platform. The Compass system allows participants to read materials, work on code, and get support all in one place. To provide real-time support on the system, the PIs will recruit advanced Computer Science Engineering undergraduate students from UC Merced, a Hispanic-serving institution, who will sign up for course credit, and serve as support personnel on the system, answering participant's questions and providing overall guidance and support.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.

加州大学默塞德分校将与当地学校管理官员、教师准备项目工作人员以及在职和职前教师合作，建立一个以高中为重点的研究实践者伙伴关系。该项目的目标是创建一个自我维持和可扩展的专业发展计划，称为START UP SJV，以支持教授计算机科学的高中教师。START UP SJV计划旨在帮助教师提高自己的计算机编程和计算思维技能，以便他们更好地教学生。START UP SJV项目将开发一个名为Compass的在线支持教育和参与平台，利用ECS和TEALS的现有工具和课程，并在Compass在线教育平台上设置附带练习的材料。Compass系统允许参与者在一个地方阅读材料、编写代码并获得支持。为了对系统提供实时支持，pi将从加州大学默塞德分校（UC Merced）招收高级计算机科学工程本科学生，他们将注册课程学分，并作为系统的支持人员，回答参与者的问题，并提供全面的指导和支持。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。
