CS Gateways 2015: Sustaining NSF-Supported Computer Science Education Curricula

CS网关2015是一个为期两天的研讨会，从NSF支持的计算机科学教学材料和专业发展项目中选出的项目负责人。讲习班将为这些领导人提供一个机会，共同思考其工作的可扩展性和长期可持续性，以及长期实施和增长的支持结构。 会议的广泛目标是：鼓励项目领导人超越其国家科学基金资助的项目的发展活动，并承诺采取步骤，一旦国家科学基金的资助结束，将导致长期增长和可持续性;教育与会者了解现在应该考虑的关键问题，以促进其工作的可扩展性和可持续性;提供可扩展性和可持续性的潜在途径的模型;以及-加强CS课程和专业开发人员的社区;鼓励合作和分享想法和解决方案战略。该研讨会是NSF赞助的一系列“网关”的延续。数学和科学课程开发人员每年举行一次会议，分享经验，讨论挑战，寻找和确定联合解决方案，并建立一个专注于教学材料和专业发展的教育工作者和领导者社区。

CS Gateways 2015 is a two-day workshop for selected project leaders from NSF-supported computer science instructional material and professional development projects. The workshop will provide an opportunity for those leaders to think collectively about the scalability and long-term sustainability of their work, as well as support structures for long-term implementation and growth. The broad goals of the conference are to -- Inspire the project leaders to think beyond the development activities of their NSF-funded projects and to commit to taking steps that will lead to long-term growth and sustainability once NSF funding has ended; -- Educate the participants about key issues that should be considered now in order to facilitate scalability and sustainability of their work; provide models of potential routes to scalability and sustainability; and -- Strengthen the community of CS curriculum and professional developers; encourage collaboration and sharing of ideas and solution strategies.The workshop represents a continuation of a series of NSF sponsored "Gateways" conferences where mathematics and science curriculum developers met annually to share experiences, discuss challenges, find and identify joint solutions, and build a community of educators and leaders focused on instructional material and professional development.
