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.

霍夫斯特拉大学将领导一个 CSforAll 高中研究人员实践伙伴关系 (RPP)：探索计算集成到技术和工程 II (ExCITE II) 技术和工程 (T&E) 教师普遍还没有准备好教授计算机科学 (CS)。他们几乎在全国每个学区任教，并为所有学生群体提供服务 ExCITE I 与马里兰州和弗吉尼亚州的教师团队开展了一项教师专业发展 (PD) 试点计划，ExCITE II 将提供全面的培训。为九个州（佐治亚州、北卡罗来纳州、宾夕法尼亚州、特拉华州、路易斯安那州、密苏里州、北达科他州、新泽西州和明尼苏达州）为不同学生提供服务的 T&E 教师和教育领导者举办一系列 PD 研讨会，作为使全国 T&E 教师能够提供培训的原型教学上合理的高级安置计算机科学原理 (AP CSP) 教学 该项目将针对黑人和西班牙裔学生占多数的地区和学校 该项目旨在使用文化相关的教学法来满足代表性不足的人群的需求。 ExCITE II 的使命是通过为全国 T&E 学生提供教学上合理的 AP CSP 教学来实施可复制的模型，以扩大 CS 的参与。将创建九个州 RPP，以展示在全国范围内大规模实施 T&E HS 教师招聘和 PD 计划的潜力。该项目将利用实践计算机控制工程设计挑战来激发学生在学习时的高度参与。该项目将与扩展计算机教育途径联盟 (ECEP) 协调州级工作。该项目将重点关注黑人和西班牙裔学生群体，因为其目标是为地理、经济和种族方面的数千名学生提供计算机科学教学。 ， 和种族多元化的学区的使用确保了在项目支持两年后，每个项目州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 国际教师。技术与工程教育工作者协会将在 NSF 资助周期结束后继续该项目的工作，并通过全国传播研讨会招募 20 名其他成员。该项目将研究和评估 PD 的影响。 ，社区实践持续支持系统以及计算机控制和机器人活动对计算机科学教学和学习的影响，对黑人和西班牙裔学生的招募、激励和反映，以及对 T&E 教师的参与和身份的影响。该奖项的保留任务和已通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。
