CUE-M: LEVEL UP: Charting a Pathway toward Inclusive Computing

该项目旨在通过在包容性、多样性、公平性和可获得性学习等领域为本科计算机教育的统一愿景建立共识，以服务于国家利益。这个项目的目标是推动计算机在本科课程中面临的几个最大挑战。挑战的例子包括如何在不破坏多样性努力的情况下管理迅速增长的计算机注册人数，以及如何拓宽国内博士项目的道路。计算机教育继续面临着包容性、多样性、公平性和可获得性学习方面的挑战。虽然一些院系和学院在这些领域取得了重大成功，但其他许多院系和学院却落后了。通过计算系领导和教职员工之间的协调努力，改变是可能的。所有大学和学院都需要“升级”，并实施扩大计算机参与度的最佳实践。为了实现就共同的变革愿景达成共识的目标，将举行一系列地区性研讨会，全国各地的教师将在这些研讨会上会面，并围绕包容性计算教育达成共识。该项目将利用公平的视角，并涉及几个NSF BPC联盟和BPC社区成员。讲习班的结果将汇编、总结并在全国范围内以基于证据的包容性计算最佳做法报告的形式散发。该项目将包括来自不同机构的教师，NSF扩大参与计算联盟的代表，以及由备受尊敬的计算教育工作者和专业人员组成的顾问委员会。顾问委员会将协调最终报告的创建。这一裁决反映了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。

This project aims to serve the national interest by building consensus for a united vision of undergraduate computing education around the areas of inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessible learning. The goal of this project is to move the needle on several of computing’s biggest challenges in undergraduate programs. Examples of challenges include how to manage booming enrollments in computing without damaging diversity efforts and how to widen a domestic path to PhD programs. Computing education continues to face challenges around inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessible learning. While several departments and colleges are achieving major successes in these areas, many others are lagging. Change is possible with a coordinated effort among computing department leaders and faculty. All universities and colleges need to “LEVEL UP” and implement the best practices that broaden participation in computing. To achieve the goal of developing consensus on a shared vision of change, a series of regional workshops will be held where faculty across the country will meet and build consensus around inclusive computing education. The project will utilize an equity lens and involve several NSF BPC Alliances and BPC community members. The results of the workshops will be compiled, summarized, and disseminated nationwide in an evidence-based report of best practices towards inclusive computing. This project will involve faculty from diverse institutions, representatives of the NSF Broadening Participation in Computing Alliances, and an advisory board of highly respected computing educators and professionals. The advisory board will coordinate the creation of the final report.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.
