CS 10K: IDoCode: A Sustainable Model for Computer Science in Idaho High Schools

博伊西州立大学(BSU)与当地高中和爱达荷州技术委员会(一个全州范围的工业、研究、教育工作者、投资者和政府组织)合作，提议开发和实施一个全面的计划-IDoCode-将为高中教师提供高质量的CS准备。它的主要目标是显著增加爱达荷州准备教授CS的教师数量，它的次要目标是增加爱达荷州有动力攻读CS学位和职业的高中毕业生数量。该项目利用了博伊西州立大学现有的两个学位计划：IDoTeach计划(UTeach复制计划，旨在增加爱达荷州及其周边地区中学数学和科学教师的数量)，以及STEM教育科学硕士计划，面向在职教师。IDoTeach将为教授AP CS原理课程的教师做好准备，在这两个项目中创建CS途径。由此产生的CS准备教师将通过面对面的研讨会、指导计划、来自行业、专业人员的支持和在线资源得到进一步的支持。北卡罗来纳州立大学将与当地行业合作伙伴一起努力招聘在职教师和高中生(潜在的职前教师)参加该计划。该项目将为爱达荷州等州提供高素质的CS预备高中教师制定蓝图。

Boise State University (BSU), in cooperation with local high schools and the Idaho Technology Council (a state-wide organization of industry, research, educators, investors, and government), proposes to develop and implement a comprehensive program -- IDoCode -- that will provide high quality CS preparation for high school teachers. Its primary goal is to significantly increase the number of teachers prepared to teach CS in the state of Idaho, and its secondary goal is to increase the number of Idaho high school graduates that are motivated to pursue a CS degree and career. The project leverages two existing degree programs at Boise State: the IDoTeach program (a UTeach replication program designed to increase the number of secondary math and science teachers in the state of Idaho and its surrounding region) for preservice teachers, and the Master of Science in STEM Education for in-service teachers. IDoTeach will prepare teachers to teach the AP CS Principles curriculum, creating CS pathways in both programs. The resulting CS prepared teachers will be further supported through face-to-face workshops, mentoring programs, support from industry, professionals, and online resources. BSU along with local industry partners will work to recruit inservice teachers and high school students (potential preservice teachers) to the programs. The project will create a blueprint for states such as Idaho to provide high quality CS preparation high school teachers.
