CS for Oregon: Antiracist Teacher Leadership for Statewide Transformation

波特兰州立大学、俄勒冈大学和俄勒冈州立大学-卡斯卡兹提议继续开展CS for Oregon项目，以发展和促进俄勒冈州的反种族主义计算机科学教育。该项目建立在2017年CS for Oregon奖(1738883号奖)的成功基础上，该奖项为超过67名教师提供了探索计算机科学的专业发展，将探索计算机科学课程带到了36个学区的49所学校。项目组过去的努力还在该州启动了对三名新的幼儿保育和培训协调员的培训。新项目通过继续向全州的教师提供ECS专业发展，特别是在历史上被排除在通勤科学之外的地区，继续扩大关注公平的CS教育人员的学习社区。它还将培养一批计算机科学社会正义教师领袖，他们在ECS所学知识的基础上，将其应用于在其学校和地区开发反种族主义课程和公平的学习计划，并学习如何参与地区、地区和全州范围的努力，以促进计算机科学和STEM教育的公平。此外，项目团队将与俄勒冈州教育部合作开发一份计算机科学公平学习成果成绩单，以帮助全州领导层庆祝正在扩大参与CS课程和学习计划的学校的成功。项目团队汇集了计算机科学研究、教育研究和高中教学实践方面的专业知识。除了来自这三所大学的教师外，该团队还包括一名来自麦克明维尔高中的计算机科学路径教师，他是一名ECS教师和ECS促进者。两名团队成员拥有与俄勒冈州地区STEM中心合作的丰富经验，这些中心负责改善STEM教育的结果和缩小公平差距。该团队与俄勒冈州教育部(ODE)的关键人员密切合作，作为俄勒冈州团队参与扩展计算教育路径(ECEP)BPC联盟。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Portland State University, the University of Oregon, and Oregon State University-Cascades propose to continue the CS for Oregon project to develop and promote antiracist Computer Science Education in Oregon. The project builds on the success of the 2017 CS for Oregon award (Award# 1738883), which provided Exploring Computer Science professional development to over 67 teachers to bring Exploring Computer Science classes to 49 schools in 36 school districts. The project team’s past efforts also initiated the training of three new ECS facilitators in the state. The new project continues to expand the learning community of equity focused CS educators by continuing to offer the ECS Professional Development to teachers across the state, particularly in districts that serve historically excluded from commuter science. It will also cultivate a group of Computer Science Social Justice Teacher Leaders who are building upon what they learned in ECS and applying it to developing antiracist curriculum and equitable programs of study in their schools and districts, and learning how to engage in district, regional, and statewide efforts to advance equity in Computer Science and STEM education. In addition, the project team will work with the Oregon Department of Education to develop a computer science equitable learning outcomes report card to help statewide leadership celebrate the successes of schools that are broadening participation in the CS courses and programs of study.The project team brings together expertise in Computer Science Research, Education Research, and High School teaching practice. In addition to faculty from the three universities, the team includes a Computer Science Pathway teacher from McMinnville High School, who is an ECS teacher and an ECS facilitator. Two team members have extensive experience working with Oregon’s regional STEM hubs, which are charged with improving outcomes and reducing equity gaps in STEM education. The team works closely with key personnel from the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) as the Oregon team participating in the Expanding Computing Education Pathways (ECEP) BPC Alliance.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.
