The University of Chicago proposes a project to develop an online resource of tools and recommendations for K-12 computer science leaders in schools and districts. The Toolkit will use three organizational frameworks--implementation pathways, user needs by role, and topical Q&As--to make it as useful as possible. The Toolkit will curate existing resources and tools currently under development, and it will generate new tools, reports, and recommendations, all focused on helping education leaders make well-informed decisions about their computer science programs. The goal of this project is to present the best available, timely information about developing and leading a K-12 computer science education effort in a format that is easily accessible to school district and state leaders, empowering them to make stronger decisions in their efforts to broadly change educational outcomes. This is an unprecedented time for the computer science education field as funding, public awareness, and employment needs are all merging for potentially coordinated support. The committed, long-standing leaders of the computing community, however, have little experience in leading larger, distract-based efforts. This project brings expertise from mathematics and science education reform communities to the newly emerging computing efforts. The Toolkit will translate this experience into the context of computer science and, thus, will contribute to a foundation of knowledge on the design, implementation, and evaluation of computer science education investments. The work will increase the scale and effectiveness of computer science teaching and learning. It will leverage and accelerate the many efforts already underway.

芝加哥大学提出了一个项目，旨在为学校和地区的K-12计算机科学领导者开发在线工具和建议。该工具包将使用三个组织框架 - 实施途径，逐个角色的用户需求以及局部Q＆AS-使其尽可能有用。该工具包将策划当前正在开发的现有资源和工具，并将生成新的工具，报告和建议，所有这些都致力于帮助教育领导者对其计算机科学计划做出明智的决策。该项目的目的是提供有关开发和领导K-12计算机科学教育工作的最佳，及时的信息，其格式很容易被学区和州领导人访问，以使他们能够在更广泛地改变教育成果的努力中做出更强大的决策。这是计算机科学教育领域的空前时间，因为资金，公众意识和就业需求都在合并以寻求协调的支持。然而，计算社区的坚定，长期存在的领导者在领导更大的，基于分心的努力方面几乎没有经验。该项目将数学和科学教育改革社区的专业知识带到了新兴的计算工作。该工具包将把这种经验转化为计算机科学的背景，因此，将为计算机科学教育投资的设计，实施和评估的知识提供基础。这项工作将提高计算机科学教学的规模和有效性。它将利用并加速已经进行的许多努力。
