Morehouse College proposes to explore outcomes of a novel teacher professional development (PD) program that prepares in-service high school teachers to teach the Advance Placement Computer Science Principles (AP CSP) course, the Beauty and Joy of Computing (BJC), with support from undergraduate computer science (CS) majors. The work leverages longstanding relationships between members of the Atlanta University Center Consortium (Morehouse College, Spelman College, and Clark Atlanta University), and the Atlanta Public Schools (APS). APS predominantly serves and employs African American and other minority students and teachers. Likewise, the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) of the Atlanta University Center primarily serve minority undergraduate students. Through this unique model, minority in-service, high school teachers will receive BJC professional development and support from minority undergraduate CS students in teaching their majority-minority AP CSP classes. The undergraduates will serve both as teaching assistants for the new CS teachers and as role models for the students. In turn, minority APS students will receive rigorous CS instruction made relevant and contextualized within their culture. This project will study the effects of in-person undergraduate teaching assistants during PD for and implementation of the BJC curriculum within minority populations. It will examine the outcomes of these teaching assistant/teacher relationships, examining changes in teachers' CS content knowledge, understanding of careers in computing, confidence in teaching CS, and success in recruiting and retaining students of color. Likewise, it will examine effects on the undergraduate student teaching assistants in terms of ability to provide instructional support, levels of civic engagement, CS content knowledge, and professional identity.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.

莫尔豪斯学院（Morehouse College）提议探索新型教师专业发展（PD）计划的结果，该计划准备高中教师在本科计算机科学（CS）的支持下，教授预先安置计算机科学原理（AP CSP）课程，计算机的美和喜悦（BJC）。这项工作利用亚特兰大大学中心财团（Morehouse College，Spelman College和Clark Atlanta University）与亚特兰大公立学校（APS）之间的长期关系。 APS主要为非裔美国人和其他少数民族学生和老师提供服务和雇用。同样，亚特兰大大学中心的历史悠久的黑人学院（HBCU）主要为少数族裔本科生服务。通过这种独特的模式，少数派在服务中，高中教师将获得BJC专业发展和少数学科学生的支持，以教授其多数少数级AP CSP课程。本科生将既是新的CS教师的助教，又是学生的榜样。反过来，少数族裔APS的学生将获得严格的CS指导，使其在文化中具有相关性和背景方式。该项目将研究PD期间亲自的本科教学助理对少数群体中BJC课程的影响。它将检查这些助教/教师关系的结果，检查教师CS内容知识的变化，对计算的职业，对CS教学的信心以及在招募和留住有色学生方面的成功。同样，它将在提供教学支持，公民参与水平，CS内容知识和专业身份的能力方面检查对本科生的教学助理的影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准来通过评估来通过评估来提供支持的。
