Exploring Computation Integrated into Technology and Engineering II

霍夫斯特拉大学将领导一个CSforAll高中Strand研究人员实践者伙伴关系（RPP）：探索计算集成到技术和工程II（ExcITE II）。 技术和工程（T E）教师一般不准备教计算机科学（CS），但他们教几乎每个国家的学区之一，并为所有学生群体。Excite I与马里兰州和弗吉尼亚州的教师团队一起开展了一项教师专业发展（PD）试点计划。ExCITE II将为九个州（格鲁吉亚、北卡罗来纳州、宾夕法尼亚州、特拉华州、路易斯安那州、密苏里州、北达科他州、新泽西和明尼苏达州）的T E教师和教育领导者提供全方位的PD研讨会，作为使全国的T E教师能够提供教学合理的高级安置计算机科学原理（AP CSP）教学的原型。 该项目将针对黑人和西班牙裔学生人数较多或占多数的地区和学校。该项目旨在使用与文化相关的教学法，以满足代表性不足的人口的需求，并构成该项目的方案发展工作的支柱，这将导致创造一个公平的课堂环境。ExCITE II的使命是实施一种可复制的模式，通过为全国的T E学生提供教学上合理的AP CSP教学来扩大CS的参与。九个州的RPP将被创建，这将证明在全国范围内为T E HS教师实施可扩展的招聘和PD计划的潜力。该项目将使用动手计算机控制工程设计的挑战，以刺激高学生参与时，学习计算机科学原理。RPP框架将使从业人员能够使用强大的分析工具，如战略CSforALL资源实施规划工具（CSTT）过程，从CS代表性不足的群体中招募学生，并确保每个州RPP的共同成果。该项目将协调其国家一级的努力与扩大计算机教育途径联盟（ECEP）。该项目将有意专注于黑人和西班牙裔学生群体，因为它的目的是提供CS教学，以成千上万的学生在地理，经济，种族和种族多样化的学区。使用一个渐进的演变过程，确保在两年的项目支持后，每个项目国家将发展一个国家的支持和实施团队，继续招聘和培训的T E教师到未来。在国家科学基金资助周期结束后，国际技术和工程教育工作者协会将继续支持该项目的工作，等待名单上的国家以及由于国家传播讲习班而招募的另外20个国家。该项目将研究和评估PD，实践社区持续支持系统，计算机控制和机器人活动对CS教学和学习的影响，对黑人和西班牙裔学生的招聘，激励和保留，以及对T E教师的参与和身份&。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的评估被认为值得支持。知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。

Hofstra University will lead a CSforAll High School Strand Researcher Practitioner Partnership (RPP): Exploring Computation Integrated into Technology and Engineering II (ExCITE II). Technology and Engineering (T&E) teachers have generally not been prepared to teach computer Science (CS), yet they teach in virtually every one of the nation’s school districts and serve all student populations. ExCITE I conducted a teacher professional development (PD) pilot program with teams of teachers in Maryland and Virginia. ExCITE II will offer a full spectrum of PD workshops for T&E teachers and education leaders who serve diverse students in nine states (Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Louisiana, Missouri, North Dakota, New Jersey, and Minnesota) as a prototype for enabling T&E teachers nationwide to provide pedagogically sound advanced placement Computer Science Principles (AP CSP) instruction. The project will target districts and schools with large or majority populations of Black and Hispanic students. The project has been designed to use culturally relevant pedagogy to meet the needs of underrepresented populations and form the backbone of the Project’s PD efforts, that will lead to on the creation of an equitable classroom environment. The mission of ExCITE II is to implement a replicable model to expand CS participation by providing pedagogically sound AP CSP instruction for T&E students nationwide. Nine state RPPs will be created that will demonstrate the potential for scalable implementation of a recruitment and PD program for T&E HS teachers nationally. The Project will use hands-on computer-control engineering design challenges to stimulate high student engagement when learning about computer science principles. The RPP framework will enable practitioners to use powerful analytical tools such as the Strategic CSforALL Resource & Implementation Planning Tool (SCRIPT) process to recruit students from groups underrepresented in CS and ensure common outcomes in each of the state RPPs. The Project will coordinate its state-level efforts with that of the Expanding Computer Education Pathways Alliance (ECEP). The Project will intentionally focus on Black and Hispanic student populations as it aims to offer CS instruction to thousands of students in geographically, economically, ethnically, and racially diverse school districts. The use of an on-ramping evolutionary process ensures that after two years of Project support, every Project state would develop an in-state support and implementation team to continue the recruitment and training of T&E teachers into the future. The International Technology and Engineering Educators Association will sustain the work of the Project after the conclusion of the NSF funding cycle with wait-listed states, and 20 additional states recruited as a result of a National Dissemination Workshop. The Project will research and evaluate the impact of the PD, the Community of Practice ongoing support system, and the computer control and robotic activities on CS teaching and learning, on the recruitment, motivation, and retention of Black and Hispanic students, and on the engagement and identities of T&E teachers.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.
