Hofstra University will lead a CSforAll High School Strand Researcher Practitioner Partnership (RPP): Exploring Computation Integrated into Technology and Engineering II (ExCITE II). Technology and Engineering (T&E) teachers have generally not been prepared to teach computer Science (CS), yet they teach in virtually every one of the nation’s school districts and serve all student populations. ExCITE I conducted a teacher professional development (PD) pilot program with teams of teachers in Maryland and Virginia. ExCITE II will offer a full spectrum of PD workshops for T&E teachers and education leaders who serve diverse students in nine states (Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Louisiana, Missouri, North Dakota, New Jersey, and Minnesota) as a prototype for enabling T&E teachers nationwide to provide pedagogically sound advanced placement Computer Science Principles (AP CSP) instruction. The project will target districts and schools with large or majority populations of Black and Hispanic students. The project has been designed to use culturally relevant pedagogy to meet the needs of underrepresented populations and form the backbone of the Project’s PD efforts, that will lead to on the creation of an equitable classroom environment. The mission of ExCITE II is to implement a replicable model to expand CS participation by providing pedagogically sound AP CSP instruction for T&E students nationwide. Nine state RPPs will be created that will demonstrate the potential for scalable implementation of a recruitment and PD program for T&E HS teachers nationally. The Project will use hands-on computer-control engineering design challenges to stimulate high student engagement when learning about computer science principles. The RPP framework will enable practitioners to use powerful analytical tools such as the Strategic CSforALL Resource & Implementation Planning Tool (SCRIPT) process to recruit students from groups underrepresented in CS and ensure common outcomes in each of the state RPPs. The Project will coordinate its state-level efforts with that of the Expanding Computer Education Pathways Alliance (ECEP). The Project will intentionally focus on Black and Hispanic student populations as it aims to offer CS instruction to thousands of students in geographically, economically, ethnically, and racially diverse school districts. The use of an on-ramping evolutionary process ensures that after two years of Project support, every Project state would develop an in-state support and implementation team to continue the recruitment and training of T&E teachers into the future. The International Technology and Engineering Educators Association will sustain the work of the Project after the conclusion of the NSF funding cycle with wait-listed states, and 20 additional states recruited as a result of a National Dissemination Workshop. The Project will research and evaluate the impact of the PD, the Community of Practice ongoing support system, and the computer control and robotic activities on CS teaching and learning, on the recruitment, motivation, and retention of Black and Hispanic students, and on the engagement and identities of T&E teachers.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.

霍夫斯特拉大学（Hofstra University）将领导CSFORALL高中研究员研究员伙伴关系（RPP）：探索集成到技术和工程II的计算（Excite II）。技术与工程（T＆E）教师通常尚未准备好教计算机科学（CS），但他们几乎在美国每个学区的每个学区教书并为所有学生群体提供服务。我激发了我在马里兰州和弗吉尼亚州的教师团队进行了教师专业发展（PD）试点计划。 ExCITE II will offer a full spectrum of PD workshops for T&E teachers and education leaders who serve diverse students in nine states (Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Louisiana, Missouri, North Dakota, New Jersey, and Minnesota) as a prototype for enabling T&E teachers nationwide to provide pedagogically sound advanced placement Computer Science Principles (AP CSP）说明。该项目将针对拥有大量或多数黑人和西班牙裔学生的地区和学校。该项目旨在利用与文化相关的教学法来满足代表性不足的人群的需求，并构成了项目PD工作的骨干，这将导致创建公平的课堂环境。 Excite II的使命是实施可复制的模型来扩展CS参与，通过为全国的T＆E学生提供教学上合理的AP CSP指导。将创建九个国家RPP，这将证明在全国范围内为T＆E HS教师实施可扩展的招聘和PD计划的潜力。该项目将使用动手计算机控制工程设计挑战，以刺激计算机科学原理时的高级学生参与度。 RPP框架将使从业人员能够使用强大的分析工具，例如战略CSFORALL资源和实施计划工具（脚本）流程，以招募CS中代表性不足的小组的学生，并确保每个州RPP的共同成果。该项目将与不断扩大的计算机教育途径联盟（ECEP）协调其州级的工作。该项目将故意关注黑人和西班牙裔学生人数，因为它旨在为成千上万的地理，经济，种族和种族多样化学区的学生提供CS指导。使用加入进化过程可确保在经过两年的项目支持之后，每个项目状态都将建立一个州内支持和实施团队，以继续招募和培训T＆E教师在未来。国际技术和工程教育工作者协会将在NSF融资周期结束后与等待名单的国家一起维持该项目的工作，并且由于全国传播研讨会而招募了20个州。该项目将研究和评估PD，实践持续支持系统的影响以及计算机控制和机器人活动对CS培训，对黑人和西班牙裔学生的招聘，动机和保留以及T＆E老师的参与和身份的招聘，动机和保留的影响，这一奖项通过NESF的法规和稳定的构建良好的构建，我们的智力是诚实的，我们的参与性和身份都诚实地构成了我们的构成。 标准。
