Toward Developing Sound Computer Science Curriculum Standartds for K-12 in the United States

美国计算机协会计算机科学教师协会（CSTA）的宗旨是为美国学校计算机科学的未来提供指导和建议。他们将组建一个由计算机科学领域的美国和国际课程开发专家组成的小组。该小组在2005年全国教育计算会议（2005年6月）的特别会议期间举行会议。除了美国专家之外，来自加拿大、南非、以色列和墨西哥的与会者也作为各国的代表参加了会议，这些国家都在努力使计算机科学课程正规化。该小组的目标是利用参与者的见解和经验来建立框架和建议，以指导美国CS材料的当前和未来发展。该小组的对话将被抄录、出版并作为课程材料的白皮书广泛传播。

ACM's Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) is funded to provide guidance and recommendations on the future of computer science in US schools. They will assemble a panel of US and international curriculum development experts in the field of computer science. The panel meets during a special session at the 2005 National Educational Computing Conference (June, 2005). In addition to the US experts, participants from Canada, South Africa, Israel and Mexico are participating as representatives of countries that have focused efforts to formalize the computer science curriculum. The goal of the panel is to use the insights and experiences of the participants to build frameworks and recommendations to guide current and future development of CS materials in the US. The panel's dialogue will be transcribed, published and widely disseminated as a white paper development of curriculum materials.
