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.

计算研究协会（CRA）提出了一系列的研讨会提供专业发展（PD）和部门政策的个人追求教学为重点的计算机科学（CS）教师职位的讨论。全国范围内的CS部门继续经历对本科课程需求的显着增加，导致持续需要扩大以教学为重点的教师人数。 对于许多博士生生产部门，教学轨道教师职位与学术排名和奖学金的期望是相对较新的，部门仍在建立这些角色和最佳实践相关的招聘和职业发展这些职位。 为了满足对以教学为中心的教师的需求，必须教育博士生，博士后学者，以教学为中心的教师，以及考虑职业转变的个人与这些职位相关的机会和责任。该系列研讨会将包括两个为期一天的，面对面的，PD研讨会为当前的教学轨道教师和两个虚拟学术研讨会系列博士生，博士后学者和寻求学术职业转变的行业专业人士。PD研讨会将于2024年和2025年与ACM计算机科学教育特别兴趣小组（SIGCSE）会议一起举行，并将为教师提供机会，为他们的职业发展建立网络和分享信息，包括职业道路，奖学金选择和晋升机会。他们还将解决教师在扩大本科生研究机会方面可以发挥的作用，并为教师面试实践的标准化提供指导。 虚拟学术景观研讨会系列将让对以教学为中心的教师职位感兴趣的个人了解以教学为中心的教师职业类型、这些职业所需的准备以及工作申请流程。为了扩大参与这些研讨会，系列和职业生涯的个人谁认同在计算中代表性不足的群体，CRA将与扩大参与计算联盟进行协调营销，以实现演讲者和参与者的广泛代表性，特别关注HBCU/MSI/TC的教学跟踪教师。将进行评估，以了解对研讨会参与者的信念和意图的影响，并帮助改善未来的研讨会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。
