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 learninig 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存在的共同挑战，最近的州研究报告称，许多高中计算机科学课程的注册人数并不比 20 年前更加多样化。 Promise Global 和布劳沃德县教育局将通过创建学区专业学习社区来解决持续存在的公平困境，致力于扩大学生的计算机科学教育。这种方法认识到学区在设计和实施连贯连接核心的包容性计算路径方面的关键作用。该合作伙伴关系建立在之前的工作基础上，并将与全国八个学区合作，为不同地区、地区规模和学生群体提供服务。这项研究- Digital Promise Global 和布劳沃德县学校董事会之间的从业者合作伙伴关系 (RPP) 建立在之前设计包容性 K-12 计算路径的基础上。 这一扩大规模的关键是学区在解决持续的公平困境和学生成绩差距方面发挥的关键作用。在K-12 计算。项目团队包括八个不同的学区，他们共同探索可持续扩展合作学区在过去三年中单独设计和实施的包容性 CT 路径模型的实践。RPP 将利用设计的 CT 路径工具包。目标是让学区领导和教师开发技能和支持系统，以有效地在每个年级实施累积的、一致的和基于能力的学习机会。 ，K-12。该奖项反映了通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，NSF 的法定使命被认为值得支持。
