CS10K: TeachIT - Scaling Mobile CSP Professional Development Online

圣斯科拉斯蒂卡学院提议开发、实施和评估TeachIT-CSP，这是一个CS 10 K项目，旨在为全国高中教师提供计算机科学教育专业发展。该项目将调整Trinity College开发的移动的计算机科学原理（移动的CSP）课程，并通过暑期在线课程向教师提供该课程，并在学年期间提供持续的在线指导和支持。TeachIT-CSP将在三年内扩大移动的CSP专业发展，使至少180名教师受益，甚至可能更多。计划中的在线形式将特别有助于农村和资金不足学校的教师在掌握新的教学内容和方法时参与专业发展和支持性学习社区。 TeachIT-CSP的目标包括：（1）通过一个吸引人的、有效的开放式在线课程，使教师专业发展规模化，该课程使用移动的CSP课程，重点关注计算机科学概念，（2）提供教学支持，帮助教师采用最佳实践，提高学生在计算机科学方面的学习成果，并支持代表性不足的人群，以及（3）开发一个开放和可共享的计算机科学教师演示循证实践的视频范例库。该评估将比较在线和面对面PD之间的结果，重点是移动的CSP项目和CSP框架确定的重要领域。 该项目将使用视频和教师反思而不是课堂观察来评估教师的表现。外部评估员将调整调查，以供从事在线PD的教师使用。

The College of St. Scholastica proposes to develop, implement, and evaluate TeachIT-CSP, a CS10K project designed to provide computer science education professional development to high school teachers throughout the nation. This project will adapt the Mobile Computer Science Principles (Mobile CSP) curriculum developed by Trinity College and offer it to teachers via a summer online course, complemented by ongoing online mentoring and support during the school year. TeachIT-CSP will scale the Mobile CSP professional development to reach at least 180 teachers over three years, and possibly many more. The planned online format will be particularly helpful in allowing teachers from rural and underfunded schools to participate in professional development and a supportive learning community, as they achieve mastery of new teaching content and methods. This project will prepare participants to teach the Computer Science Principles (AP CSP) curriculum in their classrooms and provide support to them in this process.TeachIT-CSP goals include (1) bringing teacher professional development to scale with an engaging and effective open online course that focuses on computer science concepts using Mobile CSP curriculum, (2) providing pedagogical support to help teachers incorporate best practices that improve student learning outcomes in computer science and support underrepresented populations, and (3) developing an open and sharable repository of video exemplars of computer science teachers demonstrating evidence-based practices. The evaluation will compare results between online and face-to-face PD focusing on the significant areas identified by the Mobile CSP project and the CSP framework. The project will evaluate teacher performance using videos and teacher reflections instead of classroom observations. An external evaluator will adapt surveys for use with teachers engaged in online PD.
