While all 50 U.S. states have adopted computer science education policies and standards, equity remains a persistently common challenge, with recent state-based studies reporting that many high school CS courses have enrollments no more diverse than they were 20 years ago. This partnership between Digital Promise Global and the Broward County School Board will address ongoing equity dilemmas by creating a professional learning community of school districts working to expand CS education for their students. This approach recognizes the crucial role of districts in designing and implementing inclusive computing pathways that coherently connect core computing competencies to the district’s adoption of state standards, available resources, and teacher professional development opportunities. The partnership builds on prior work and will engage eight school districts across the country that serve a variety of geographies, district sizes and student populations.This research-practitioner partnership (RPP) between Digital Promise Global and the Broward County School Board builds upon prior work that designed inclusive K-12 computing pathways. Key to this scale-up is the crucial role of school districts in addressing ongoing equity dilemmas and student achievement gaps in K-12 computing. The project team includes eight diverse school districts, who collectively explore practices for sustainably scaling the inclusive CT pathways model that partnering districts have individually designed and implemented over the past three years. The RPP will leverage the CT Pathways Toolkit designed from prior work and implement a teacher-led model of professional learning at scale for district administrators and instructors. The goal is for district leaders and teachers to develop skills and support systems to effectively implement cumulative, consistent, and competency-based learning opportunities in each grade, K-12.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.

尽管美国所有50个州都采用了计算机科学教育政策和标准，但公平仍然是一个持续共同的挑战，最近的州立研究报告称，许多高中CS课程的入学率不比20年前的多样化。数字承诺全球与布劳沃德县学校董事会之间的这种伙伴关系将通过建立一个专业的学区学习社区来解决持续的股权困境，以扩大学生的CS教育。这种方法认识到地区在设计和实施包容性计算途径中的至关重要作用，这些计算途径连贯地将核心计算竞赛连接到该地区采用州标准，可用资源和教师专业发展机会。该合作伙伴关系以先前的工作为基础，将与全国各地的八个学区互动，这些学区为各种地理位置，地区规模和学生群体提供服务。这项研究 - 实证人伙伴关系（RPP）在数字Promise Global和Broward County学校董事会之间建立在设计包含K-12计算机途径的先前工作的基础上。这一扩展的关键是学区在K-12计算中解决持续的股权困境和学生成就差距的关键作用。该项目团队包括八个潜水员学区，他们共同探索了可持续扩展CT途径模型的实践，该模型在过去三年中已经单独设计和实施了。 RPP将利用先前工作设计的CT途径工具包，并为地区管理员和讲师实施以教师为主导的专业学习模型。目的是让地区领导者和教师开发技能和支持系统，以在每个等级中有效地实施累积，一致和基于能力的学习机会，K-12。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准来评估NSF的法定任务。
