2nd Convening on Computer Science Education for Native Students

美国印第安人科学与工程学会(AISIS)提议主办第二次主要利益攸关方会议，这些利益攸关方参与并致力于改善土著学生的计算机科学教育。第一次会议于2019年3月举行，主要侧重于通过召集一小群利益攸关方了解挑战和确定需要改进的领域。根据这些与会者的答复，AISS建议进一步努力，让更多的利益攸关方不仅确定障碍，而且开始制定解决方案、建立网络和实现资源，方法是将那些机会有限的人联系起来，并创造新的、更适当的资源来满足土著学生和为土著服务的教师和学校的需求。第二次会议将于2019年10月13日至14日在威斯康星州密尔沃基举行的2019年Aise全国会议之后举行。AISS将招募召集的与会者，目标是关键的利益相关者和以前的与会者，并向其网络进行外联，并向合作伙伴网络发出邀请。建议召开会议的目的是：(1)扩大参与者的范围，包括更多的教师和管理人员、CS教育非营利组织的代表和部落教育界的其他成员，以及(2)制定详细的行动计划和制定实施路线图。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) proposes to host a second convening of key stakeholders engaged in and committed to improving Computer Science education for Native students. The first convening, held in March of 2019, focused primarily on understanding challenges and identifying areas for improvement by convening a small group of stakeholders. Based on the responses of those participants, AISES proposes to advance the effort by engaging an expanded set of stakeholders to not only identify barriers but to begin developing solutions, building networks, and realizing resources both by connecting those with limited access and by creating new, more appropriate resources to meet the needs of Native students and Native-serving teachers and schools. This second convening will take place October 13-14, 2019, immediately following the 2019 AISES National Conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. AISES will recruit convening attendees, targeting key stakeholders, previous attendees, and conducting outreach to its networks and extending invitations to partner networks. The objectives of the proposed convening are to: (1) expand the set of engaged participants to include additional teachers and administrators, representatives of CS education non-profit organizations, and other members of the tribal education community and (2) develop detailed plans of action and create a road map for implementation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
