Conference: CRA-E Workshop: Supporting career building, student research experiences, and advancement of teaching track faculty

计算机研究协会（CRA）提出了一系列的研讨会，提供专业发展（PD）和部门政策的讨论，为个人追求以教学为重点的计算机科学（CS）教师职位。全国范围内的计算机系对本科课程的需求持续显著增加，导致持续需要扩大以教学为重点的教师人数。对于许多培养博士的院系来说，具有学术排名和奖学金期望的教学跟踪教师职位相对较新，院系仍在建立这些角色和与这些职位的招聘和职业发展相关的最佳实践。为了满足对教学型教师的需求，必须对博士生、博士后学者、教学型教师以及考虑转行的个人进行教育，让他们了解与这些职位相关的机会和责任。该系列研讨会将包括两个为期1天的面对面PD研讨会，针对当前的教学轨道教师，以及两个虚拟学术研讨会系列，面向博士生，博士后学者和寻求学术职业转变的行业专业人士。PD研讨会将与ACM计算机科学教育特别兴趣小组（SIGCSE）会议一起在2024年和2025年举行，并将为教师提供网络和分享职业发展信息的机会，包括职业道路，奖学金选择和晋升机会。他们还将讨论教学跟踪教师在扩大本科生研究机会方面可以发挥的作用，并为教学教师面试实践的标准化提供指导。虚拟学术景观研讨会系列将向对以教学为重点的教师职位感兴趣的个人介绍以教学为重点的教师职业的类型，这些职业所需的准备工作以及工作申请过程。为了扩大在计算机领域未被充分代表的群体的个人对这些研讨会、系列和职业的参与，CRA将与“扩大参与计算联盟”进行协调营销，以实现演讲者和参与者的广泛代表，特别关注hbcu / msi / tc的教学跟踪教师。将进行评估，以了解对讲习班参与者的信念和意图的影响，并帮助改进今后的讲习班。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识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 Computing Research Association (CRA) proposes a series of workshops providing professional development (PD) and discussion of departmental policies for individuals pursuing teaching-focused Computer Science (CS) faculty positions. CS departments nationwide continue to experience significant increases in demand for undergraduate courses, resulting in an on-going need to expand the number of teaching-focused faculty members. For many PhD producing departments, teaching track faculty positions with academic rank and expectations for scholarship are relatively new, and departments are still establishing these roles and best practices related to the hiring and career progression for these positions. To meet the need for teaching-focused faculty members, it is imperative to educate PhD students, post-doctoral scholars, teaching-focused faculty members, and individuals considering a career change about the opportunities and responsibilities associated with these positions.The series of workshops will include two 1-day, in-person, PD Workshops for current teaching track faculty members and two Virtual Academic Workshop Series for PhD students, post-doctoral scholars, and industry professionals seeking an academic career change. The PD Workshops will be held in conjunction with the ACM’s Special Interest Group in Computer Science Education’s (SIGCSE) conferences in 2024 and 2025 and will offer opportunities for teaching faculty to network and share information for their career development, including career paths, scholarship options, and promotion opportunities. They will also address the role teaching track faculty can play in expanding undergraduate research opportunities and create guidance on a standardization of the teaching faculty interview practices. The Virtual Academic Landscape Workshop Series will expose individuals interested in teaching-focused faculty positions to the types of teaching-focused faculty careers, the preparation needed for these careers, and the job application process. To broaden participation in these workshops, series, and careers by individuals who identify with groups underrepresented in computing, CRA will undertake coordinated marketing with Broadening Participation in Computing Alliances to achieve a broad representation of speakers and participants, with particular focus on teaching track faculty at HBCUs/MSIs/TCs. An evaluation will be conducted to learn about the impacts on workshop participants’ beliefs and intentions and to help improve future workshops.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.
