The College of St. Scholastica proposes to develop, implement, and evaluate TeachIT-CSP, a CS10K project designed to provide computer science education professional development to high school teachers throughout the nation. This project will adapt the Mobile Computer Science Principles (Mobile CSP) curriculum developed by Trinity College and offer it to teachers via a summer online course, complemented by ongoing online mentoring and support during the school year. TeachIT-CSP will scale the Mobile CSP professional development to reach at least 180 teachers over three years, and possibly many more. The planned online format will be particularly helpful in allowing teachers from rural and underfunded schools to participate in professional development and a supportive learning community, as they achieve mastery of new teaching content and methods. This project will prepare participants to teach the Computer Science Principles (AP CSP) curriculum in their classrooms and provide support to them in this process.TeachIT-CSP goals include (1) bringing teacher professional development to scale with an engaging and effective open online course that focuses on computer science concepts using Mobile CSP curriculum, (2) providing pedagogical support to help teachers incorporate best practices that improve student learning outcomes in computer science and support underrepresented populations, and (3) developing an open and sharable repository of video exemplars of computer science teachers demonstrating evidence-based practices. The evaluation will compare results between online and face-to-face PD focusing on the significant areas identified by the Mobile CSP project and the CSP framework. The project will evaluate teacher performance using videos and teacher reflections instead of classroom observations. An external evaluator will adapt surveys for use with teachers engaged in online PD.

St. Scholastica 学院提议开发、实施和评估 TeachIT-CSP，这是一个 CS10K 项目，旨在为全国高中教师提供计算机科学教育专业发展。该项目将改编三一学院开发的移动计算机科学原理（移动 CSP）课程，并通过夏季在线课程向教师提供该课程，并辅以学年期间持续的在线指导和支持。 TeachIT-CSP 将扩大移动 CSP 专业发展规模，在三年内覆盖至少 180 名教师，甚至可能更多。计划中的在线形式将特别有助于让来自农村和资金不足学校的教师参与专业发展和支持性学习社区，因为他们掌握了新的教学内容和方法。 该项目将为参与者做好在课堂上教授计算机科学原理 (AP CSP) 课程的准备，并在此过程中为他们提供支持。TeachIT-CSP 的目标包括 (1) 通过引人入胜且有效的开放在线课程来扩大教师的专业发展重点关注使用移动 CSP 课程的计算机科学概念，(2) 提供教学支持，帮助教师采用最佳实践，提高学生在计算机科学方面的学习成果并支持代表性不足的人群，以及 (3) 开发开放且可共享的视频存储库计算机科学教师展示循证实践的典范。该评估将比较在线和面对面 PD 的结果，重点关注移动 CSP 项目和 CSP 框架确定的重要领域。 该项目将使用视频和教师反思而不是课堂观察来评估教师的表现。外部评估员将对调查进行调整，以供从事在线专业发展的教师使用。
