项目摘要

The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) proposes a project to strengthen and expand access to computer science (CS) education in U.S. high schools. The project will leverage the Thriving in Our Digital World curriculum, the successful UTeach model for STEM teacher preparation, the unique expertise of the UTeach Institute (the organization charged with ensuring the fidelity of national UTeach implementation and the expansion and the sustainability of related STEM education innovations), and a national network, facilitated by the UTeach Institute, of 44 UTeach partner programs at universities across 21 states and the District of Columbia. The project will develop and scale professional development (PD) that prepares teachers for the new AP® CS Principles course as it becomes officially available in the fall of 2016. The project has four major goals: (1) to develop and integrate CS content and activities into the national UTeach curriculum for pre-service STEM teachers; (2) to facilitate a collaborative dialogue to support the development and strengthening of pathways for CS teacher licensure and secondary instruction in the 21 states and District of Columbia that partner with the UTeach Institute; (3) to develop and pilot in-person and online PD programs to scale high quality training to a diverse corps of teachers preparing to offer the Thriving in Our Digital World curriculum based on the AP CS Principles framework; and (4) to recruit and support 300 teachers. The three-year phased project timeline aligns with the rollout of the new AP CS Principles exam, and it will prepare roughly 6,000 students in Grades 10 through 12 to take the exam. In addition, by leveraging the expertise of the UTeach Institute to scale and sustain STEM teacher preparation and PD initiatives, all project components will be fully institutionalized and sustained through a fee structure by the end of the grant period.

德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校（UT Austin）提出了一个项目，以加强和扩大美国高中计算机科学（CS）教育的访问。该项目将利用我们的数字世界课程蓬勃发展，成功的UTEACH教师准备模型，Uteach Institute的独特专业知识（该组织负责确保国家UTEACH实施的忠诚度以及相关STEM教育创新的扩张和可持续性的忠诚度），以及一个国家网络的国家网络，由UTEACH Intervity提供了44个UTEACH Institute，由44个UTEACH研究所的国家支持，包括44个UTEACH合作伙伴计划。该项目将开发和规模专业发展（PD），该项目在2016年秋季正式提供新的AP®CS原理课程。（2）支持协作对话，以支持与uteach研究所合作的21个州和哥伦比亚特区的CS教师许可和次要教学的发展和加强；（3）开发和试点面对面和在线PD计划，以将高质量的培训扩展到准备基于AP CS原理框架的数字世界课程中繁荣的教师的高质量培训；（4）招募和支持300名教师。分阶段分阶段的项目时间表与新的AP CS原理考试的推出保持一致，它将为大约6,000名10至12年级的学生做好准备参加考试。此外，通过利用UTEACH研究所的专业知识来扩展和维持STEM教师的准备和PD计划，所有项目组件将在赠款期末之前通过收费结构进行完全制度化和维持。
