The University of Washington, Central Washington University, Western Washington University, Whitworth University, and Washington State University will bring together leaders of pre-service programs, Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) chapters, Educational Service Districts (ESD), CTE directors, community organizations, and researchers to realize justice-focused secondary CS education in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. School districts across the country need more secondary computer science teachers, especially those who share the identities, values, and lived experiences of the students they teach. However, pathways for preparing and supporting computer science teachers are only just emerging, and many are struggling to recruit promising teachers into the profession and retain them long term. This project seeks to serve students and teachers who are women, African-Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and/or disabled, specifically by creating pathways into computer science teaching for teachers with these identities. This project will create a consortium of emerging pre-service programs across the Pacific Northwest to address, strengthen, and mature computer science teaching pathways in four ways: 1) organizing and sharing information about teaching pathways, 2) identifying and resolving key barriers to pathways that aspiring teachers face, 3) supporting computers science teacher community building in partnership with new and existing computer science teachers association chapters, and 4) supporting administrative leaders who manage and grow these pathways. The CSforAll High School Strand project’s approach is to build an evidence-based networked improvement community, which deeply engages stakeholders across the region to identify opportunities for change, develop sustainable cross-institutional coordination practices, and use research as one tool of many to inform approaches to change. Research will particularly focus on answering 1) who is and isn’t informed about CS teaching pathways, and why; 2) what barriers aspiring teacher with identities marginalized in CS face in pursuing CS teaching careers; 3) how community gatherings amongst teachers with marginalized identities can support teacher retention; and 4) how solidarity amongst teacher education administrative leaders can support sustainability of pathways. These questions will be posed across urban and rural divides, helping to inform how values, communities, and state politics shape equitable access to computer science education in secondary schools across the Pacific Northwest.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.

华盛顿大学，华盛顿大学，西华盛顿大学，惠特沃斯大学和华盛顿州立大学将召集服务前计划，计算机科学教师协会（CSTA）章节（CSTA）章节，教育服务区（ESD），CTE董事，社区组织和研究人员，以实现在华盛顿，俄勒冈州华盛顿州，俄勒冈州和IDAHO和IDAHO和IDAHO和IDAHO和IDAHO和IDAHO和IDAHO和IDAHO和IDAHO和IDAHO和IDAHO和IDAHO和IDAHO和IDAHO和IDAHO和IDAHO和IDAHO和IDAHO。全国各地的学区需要更多的二级计算机科学老师，尤其是那些分享他们教学学生身份，价值观和生活经验的人。但是，准备和支持计算机科学老师的途径只是出现，许多人都在努力将教义招募到该行业并长期保留他们。该项目旨在为妇女，非裔美国人，西班牙裔，美洲原住民和/或残疾人的学生和老师提供服务，特别是通过为具有这些身份的教师的计算机科学教学创建途径。该项目将建立一个在西北太平洋地区的新兴前职业计划的联盟，以四种方式解决，加强和成熟的计算机科学教学途径：1）组织和共享有关教学途径的信息，2）识别和解决关键的障碍，识别和解决与现有的计算机教师社区建立与现有的计算机科学裁判的合作，并支持他们与现有的计算机教师建立的途径，并支持这些班级，并为他们建立了班级，并支持他们的现有计算机科学裁决，并在4个领导人建立了他们的社会裁决。途径。 CSFORALL高中链项目的方法是建立一个基于证据的网络改进社区，该社区深深吸引了整个地区的利益相关者，以确定变革的机会，发展可持续的跨机构协调实践，并以研究为一种工具研究将特别专注于答案1） 2）在从事CS教学职业时，CS面临边缘化的身份的有抱负的老师的障碍； 3）具有边缘身份的教师之间的社区聚会如何支持教师保留； 4）教师教育行政领导人之间的团结如何支持途径的可持续性。这些问题将在城市和粗糙的鸿沟中定位，有助于告知价值观，社区和州政治如何在太平洋西北部的中学中如何平等地获得计算机科学教育。这项奖项反映了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影响审查标准来通过评估而被认为是通过评估来支持的。
