Digital Promise Global will join with the League of Innovative Schools to design, investigate and improve inclusive computing pathways for K-12 students. Most states have enacted computer science mandates and many districts have started to integrate computer science and computational thinking into their curriculum. But districts face obstacles that result in low participation of underrepresented students. Building on its ongoing, long-term relationships with the 93 districts in 33 states serving more than 3 million students, the League of Innovative Schools has launched a Researcher-Practitioner Partnership to design coherent curricular progressions for computer science and computational thinking with an intentional emphasis on access and equity. Researchers join with three Core districts in the League of Innovative Schools to focus on districts' Hispanic and African American students, Title 1 schools and, more generally, their girls and low-income students. These students need intentionally designed pathways and supports to increase their participation in computational thinking and computer science.The project will address three research questions, each with a deliberate focus on access and equity. Due to the rapid expansion of computer science initiatives across states and districts, the outputs of this project -- including (a) each district's completed pathway and resources (addressing both the "why" and "how" for access and equity), (b) the research instruments and processes used to collect and analyze equity data in rapid cycles, and (c) case studies and recommendations on how to build computing pathways that address challenges of access and equity -- are expected to be broadly useful. The project will directly serve 3 Core districts with 50,000 students (29% low income, 26% Black or Latinx). To increase broader impacts, this project will involve an additional 9 Knowledge Sharing districts (91,000 students 53% low income, 41% Black or Latinx). Results will be disseminated widely by engaging Digital Promise Global's established practices and channels including short videos, social media, webinars, and workshops, with an established reach of over 4000 schools and 10,000 educators.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

Digital Promise Global将与创新的学校联盟一起设计，调查和改善K-12学生的包容性计算途径。大多数州都颁布了计算机科学要求，许多地区已经开始将计算机科学和计算思维整合到其课程中。但是地区面临的障碍，导致代表性不足的学生参与较低。在与33个州的93个地区为超过300万学生提供服务的基础上，创新的学校联盟建立了一项研究人员 - 实证人的合作伙伴关系，以故意强调访问和公平的重点，以设计计算机科学和计算思维的连贯的课程进步。研究人员与创新学校联盟的三个核心地区一起，专注于地区的西班牙裔和非洲裔美国学生，第1届标题学校，更普遍地是他们的女孩和低收入学生。这些学生需要故意设计的途径和支持，以增加他们对计算思维和计算机科学的参与。该项目将解决三个研究问题，每个研究问题都刻意着眼于访问和公平。由于跨州和地区的计算机科学计划的快速扩展，该项目的产出 - 包括（a）每个地区的完整途径和资源（既解决访问和公平的“为什么”和“如何”），（b）用于构建案例研究和构建计算范围的案例和建议的研究工具和流程，这些研究工具和流程是在构建案例和建议方面的范围。该项目将直接为有50,000名学生（29％低收入，26％黑人或拉丁裔）的3个核心地区服务。为了增加更广泛的影响，该项目将涉及另外9个知识共享区（91,000名学生53％的低收入，41％黑人或拉丁裔）。通过参与Digital Promise Global的既定实践和渠道，包括简短视频，社交媒体，网络研讨会和研讨会，既有4000多所学校和10,000名教育工作者的范围。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并已被认为是通过基金会的知识分子的优点和广泛的影响，将广泛传播结果。
