BPC-AE: ACCESSCOMPUTING - THIRD EXTENSION

华盛顿大学(UW)提议对访问计算职业联盟(AccessComputing)进行扩展。访问计算是扩大残疾人和学生参与计算的国家努力的基石。通过一系列机构伙伴关系和对纳入残疾学生的通用设计的研究，AccessComputing直接与国家科学基金会扩大参与的目标保持一致。AccessComputing专注于STEM领域中服务严重不足的残疾学生。AccessComputing吸引残疾个人以及那些支持、服务、指导、教育和雇用他们的人参与转型努力，使计算学科对包括9/11事件后的退伍军人在内的残疾个人更受欢迎和更容易获得。AccessComputing是华盛顿大学计算机科学与工程系和DO-IT(残疾、机会、互联网和技术)中心的联合努力，与不同的中学后机构合作，扩大对计算(BPC)联盟和计算组织的参与。该联盟的目标是(1)提高中学后机构、大学前教育工作者、BPC联盟和行业的能力，以完全纳入计算领域的残疾个人；(2)使用基于证据的实践向个人提供直接服务，以支持这些个人度过计算机职业生涯的关键时刻；(3)在利益相关者之间建立协同和持久的关系，以促进计算机教育和职业生涯中的包容性的系统性变化；以及(4)扩大一个在线资源中心，以便在全球范围内分享研究和成功的实践。应用以知识管理、协作和社交网络理论和实践为基础的方法，AccessComputing奖的这一扩展将把早期和新的关系正式化为由合作伙伴、协作者和附属公司组成的多层组织结构。残疾个人的结果将通过跟踪学生参与者的进展以及机构入学和毕业数据来记录；结果将与地方、地区和国家关于残疾人学术和职业成功的数据进行比较。

The University of Washington (UW) proposes an extension for the Alliance for Access to Computing Careers (AccessComputing). AccessComputing is the cornerstone of the national effort to broaden the participation of persons and students with disabilities in computing. Through an array of institutional partnerships and research on universal design for inclusion of students with disabilities, AccessComputing is directly aligned with NSF goals of broadening participation. AccessComputing focuses on students with disabilities who are a critically underserved group in STEM fields.AccessComputing engages individuals with disabilities as well as those who support, serve, guide, educate, and employ them in transformational efforts to make the computing disciplines more welcoming and accessible to individuals with disabilities, including post-9/11 veterans. AccessComputing is a combined effort of UW's Department of Computer Science and Engineering and DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology) Center, in partnership with diverse set of postsecondary institutions, Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) Alliances, and computing organizations. The Alliance aims to (1) increase the capacity of postsecondary institutions, precollege educators, BPC Alliances, and industry to fully include individuals with disabilities in computing fields; (2) provide direct services to individuals using evidence-based practices that support those individuals as they move through critical junctures on the way to computing careers; (3) build synergistic and lasting relationships among stakeholders to promote systemic changes toward inclusiveness in computing education and careers; and (4) expand an online resource center to share research and successful practices worldwide. Applying methods grounded in knowledge management, collaboration, and social network theory and practice, this extension to the AccessComputing award will formalize earlier and new relationships into a multitier organizational structure of partners, collaborators, and affiliates. Outcomes for individuals with disabilities will be documented by tracking the progress of student participants as well as institutional enrollment and graduation data; and results will be compared to local, regional, and national data with respect to the academic and career success of people with disabilities.
