ECS Nationwide: A Professional Development Model for Exploring Computer Science Expansion

计算机协会为那些对在学校布置和教授探索计算机科学（ECS）感兴趣的高中教师申请一系列研讨会的资金。ECS是为洛杉矶联合学区（LAUSD）开发的一门入门级高中计算机课程，向学生介绍计算机科学的基础、创造性、跨学科和解决问题的本质。这些研讨会将扩大ECS在LAUSD以外的专业发展机会。随着ECS和更大的CS 10K项目开始在全国范围内产生影响，它们将形成一个模型，供未来几年使用。PI是ECS的开发者之一，研讨会将由计算机科学教师协会（CSTA）组织和运营。

The Association for Computing Machinery requests funding for a series of workshops for high school teachers from who are interested in placing and teaching Exploring Computer Science (ECS) in their schools. ECS is an entry-level, high-school computing course-developed for the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) that introduces students to the foundational, creative, interdisciplinary, and problem-solving nature of computer science. These workshops will expand the professional development opportunities for ECS beyond LAUSD. They will form a model for use in the next few years as ECS and the larger CS 10K Project, begin to scale for national impact. The PI was one of the developers of ECS and the workshops will be organized and run by the Computer Science Teacher's Association (CSTA).
