Conference: CRA-E Workshop: Supporting career building, student research experiences, and advancement of teaching track faculty

计算研究协会(CRA)提出了一系列研讨会，为寻求以教学为重点的计算机科学(CS)教师职位的个人提供专业发展(PD)和讨论部门政策。全国范围内的CS系对本科课程的需求继续显著增加，因此需要不断扩大以教学为重点的教职员工数量。对于许多博士生产部门来说，具有学术级别和对奖学金的期望的教学轨道教师职位相对较新，各部门仍在确定这些职位的角色和与这些职位的招聘和职业发展相关的最佳实践。为了满足以教学为重点的教师的需求，有必要对博士生、博士后学者、以教学为重点的教师和考虑转行的个人进行与这些职位相关的机会和责任的教育。系列研讨会将包括为当前教学轨道教师举办的两个为期一天的面对面PD研讨会，以及为寻求改变学术生涯的博士生、博士后学者和行业专业人员举办的两个虚拟学术研讨会系列。PD研讨会将于2024年和2025年与ACM的计算机科学教育特别兴趣小组(SIGCSE)会议一起举行，将为教师提供建立网络和分享其职业发展信息的机会，包括职业道路、奖学金选择和晋升机会。他们还将讨论教学轨道教师在扩大本科生研究机会方面可以发挥的作用，并就教师面试实践的标准化提供指导。虚拟学术前景研讨会系列将向对以教学为重点的教师职位感兴趣的个人展示以教学为重点的教师职业类型、这些职业所需的准备以及工作申请过程。为了让那些认同计算机界代表性不足的群体的个人更多地参与这些研讨会、系列和职业，CRA将开展协调营销，扩大对计算联盟的参与，以实现演讲者和参与者的广泛代表，尤其是HBCU/MSIS/TCS的教学轨道教师。将进行一次评估，以了解对研讨会参与者的信念和意图的影响，并帮助改进未来的工作坊。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Computing Research Association (CRA) proposes a series of workshops providing professional development (PD) and discussion of departmental policies for individuals pursuing teaching-focused Computer Science (CS) faculty positions. CS departments nationwide continue to experience significant increases in demand for undergraduate courses, resulting in an on-going need to expand the number of teaching-focused faculty members. For many PhD producing departments, teaching track faculty positions with academic rank and expectations for scholarship are relatively new, and departments are still establishing these roles and best practices related to the hiring and career progression for these positions. To meet the need for teaching-focused faculty members, it is imperative to educate PhD students, post-doctoral scholars, teaching-focused faculty members, and individuals considering a career change about the opportunities and responsibilities associated with these positions.The series of workshops will include two 1-day, in-person, PD Workshops for current teaching track faculty members and two Virtual Academic Workshop Series for PhD students, post-doctoral scholars, and industry professionals seeking an academic career change. The PD Workshops will be held in conjunction with the ACM’s Special Interest Group in Computer Science Education’s (SIGCSE) conferences in 2024 and 2025 and will offer opportunities for teaching faculty to network and share information for their career development, including career paths, scholarship options, and promotion opportunities. They will also address the role teaching track faculty can play in expanding undergraduate research opportunities and create guidance on a standardization of the teaching faculty interview practices. The Virtual Academic Landscape Workshop Series will expose individuals interested in teaching-focused faculty positions to the types of teaching-focused faculty careers, the preparation needed for these careers, and the job application process. To broaden participation in these workshops, series, and careers by individuals who identify with groups underrepresented in computing, CRA will undertake coordinated marketing with Broadening Participation in Computing Alliances to achieve a broad representation of speakers and participants, with particular focus on teaching track faculty at HBCUs/MSIs/TCs. An evaluation will be conducted to learn about the impacts on workshop participants’ beliefs and intentions and to help improve future workshops.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.
