WestEd proposes to study the Technical Education and Literacy in Schools (TEALS) program. TEALS, a pioneering work-place intervention of the non-profit Microsoft YouthSpark program, provides multi-year, on-the-job computer science education professional development to high school teachers. The project will identify an effective learning model to prepare in-service teachers to teach computer science. To ensure the model meets workplace requirements, all research will take place in an authentic high school learning context. In addition, the project will synthesize existing research on computer science education, integrate research with practice, and contribute to the development of theory around computer science pedagogy. This project addresses a major barrier to increasing the number of qualified K-12 computer science teachers in the U.S. Few avenues currently exist for pre-service and in-service teachers to train in computer science pedagogy and become certified to teach computer science. As computer science is becoming increasingly important for many kinds of careers, improving teaching in this area is in the national interest.

Wested建议研究学校技术教育和扫盲计划。 Teals是非营利性Microsoft YouthSpark计划的开创性工作场所干预措施，为高中教师提供了多年的，在职的计算机科学教育专业发展。 该项目将确定一个有效的学习模型，以准备在职教师教授计算机科学。为了确保模型满足工作场所的要求，所有研究都将在真实的高中学习环境中进行。此外，该项目将综合有关计算机科学教育的现有研究，将研究与实践相结合，并为计算机科学教育学的理论发展做出贡献。该项目涉及增加美国合格的K-12计算机科学教师数量的主要障碍，目前有几种途径在服务前和在职教师培训计算机科学教学法并获得了教授计算机科学的认证。随着计算机科学对许多职业的越来越重要，改善该领域的教学符合国家利益。
