The University of Alabama Tuscaloosa, in collaboration with Duke University and Rutgers University, propose a project aimed at infusing Collaborative Learning (CL) into the new AP Computer Science Principles (CSP) courses. The curriculum framework for CSP was designed to be engaging to a broad and diverse group of students. However, curriculum alone is not enough to ensure student engagement: the most interesting and innovative curriculum can still be taught in a disengaged manner. The learning science literature on CL has shown that it increases class participation and student learning while also promoting diversity in a manner that supports the differentiated instruction needed to engage students who have mixed abilities. This project seeks to understand how the best practices of CL can be applied across the CSP curriculum framework and community.This project will provide deep professional development opportunities for CSP teachers through face to face training and to create a publicly available collection of CL strategies applied to the CSP context. The project will connect the CL strategies within a series of 36 lesson plans, a teacher workbook, a YouTube video channel with examples on using CL strategies, while also providing direct professional development during an intensive week-long workshop. The project will directly reach 180 teachers but the developed materials will be disseminated through the CS Community.

阿拉巴马大学塔斯卡卢萨分校与杜克大学和罗格斯大学合作提出了一个项目，旨在将协作学习 (CL) 融入到新的 AP 计算机科学原理 (CSP) 课程中。 CSP 的课程框架旨在吸引广泛且多样化的学生群体。然而，仅靠课程并不足以确保学生的参与：最有趣和创新的课程仍然可以以脱离参与的方式教授。有关 CL 的学习科学文献表明，它可以提高课堂参与度和学生学习，同时还能以支持差异化教学的方式促进多样性，以吸引具有混合能力的学生。该项目旨在了解如何将 CL 的最佳实践应用于 CSP 课程框架和社区。该项目将通过面对面培训为 CSP 教师提供深入的专业发展机会，并创建一个公开的 CL 策略集合，应用于CSP 上下文。该项目将把 CL 策略与一系列 36 个课程计划、教师工作簿、带有使用 CL 策略示例的 YouTube 视频频道联系起来，同时还在为期一周的密集研讨会中提供直接的专业发展。该项目将直接惠及 180 名教师，但开发的材料将通过计算机科学社区传播。
