While all 50 U.S. states have adopted computer science education policies and standards, equity remains a persistently common challenge, with recent state-based studies reporting that many high school CS courses have enrollments no more diverse than they were 20 years ago. This partnership between Digital Promise Global and the Broward County School Board will address ongoing equity dilemmas by creating a professional learninig community of school districts working to expand CS education for their students. This approach recognizes the crucial role of districts in designing and implementing inclusive computing pathways that coherently connect core computing competencies to the district’s adoption of state standards, available resources, and teacher professional development opportunities. The partnership builds on prior work and will engage eight school districts across the country that serve a variety of geographies, district sizes and student populations.This research-practitioner partnership (RPP) between Digital Promise Global and the Broward County School Board builds upon prior work that designed inclusive K-12 computing pathways. Key to this scale-up is the crucial role of school districts in addressing ongoing equity dilemmas and student achievement gaps in K-12 computing. The project team includes eight diverse school districts, who collectively explore practices for sustainably scaling the inclusive CT pathways model that partnering districts have individually designed and implemented over the past three years. The RPP will leverage the CT Pathways Toolkit designed from prior work and implement a teacher-led model of professional learning at scale for district administrators and instructors. The goal is for district leaders and teachers to develop skills and support systems to effectively implement cumulative, consistent, and competency-based learning opportunities in each grade, K-12.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.

虽然美国所有50个州都采用了计算机科学教育政策和标准，但公平性仍然是一个持续存在的共同挑战，最近基于州的研究报告称，许多高中计算机科学课程的入学人数并不比20年前更加多样化。Digital Promise Global和布劳沃德县学校董事会之间的合作伙伴关系将通过创建一个致力于为学生扩展CS教育的学区专业学习社区来解决持续的公平困境。这种方法认识到地区在设计和实施包容性计算途径中的关键作用，这些途径将核心计算能力与地区采用国家标准，可用资源和教师专业发展机会联系起来。该合作伙伴关系建立在先前的工作基础上，将与全国各地的八个学区合作，这些学区服务于各种地理位置，地区规模和学生群体。Digital Promise Global和布劳沃德县学校董事会之间的研究-实践者合作伙伴关系（RPP）建立在先前设计包容性K-12计算路径的工作基础上。这种规模扩大的关键是学区在解决K-12计算中持续存在的公平困境和学生成绩差距方面的关键作用。该项目团队包括八个不同的学区，他们共同探索可持续扩展包容性CT路径模型的实践，该模型是合作地区在过去三年中单独设计和实施的。该方案将利用根据以往工作设计的CT路径工具包，并为地区行政人员和导师实施大规模的教师主导专业学习模式。其目标是为地区领导和教师发展技能和支持系统，以有效地实施累积，一致的，并以能力为基础的学习机会，在每个年级，K-12.This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准的支持。
