Building a Pathway for CS Principles Teachers

Jeffrey Gray

The University of Alabama Tuscaloosa proposes to develop a new model for preparing preservice teachers to realize the CSforAll goal of scaling computer science education to tens of thousands of schools. The project will expand an existing research-practitioner partnership to support preservice Secondary Mathematics students.

Identifying Participation Barriers to Computer Science Education

Shelly Hollis

The primary goal of the small strand, K-14 project "Collaborative Research: Identifying Participation Barriers to Computer Science Education in Rural Mississippi" is to develop a researcher-practitioner partnership (RPP) to identify barriers to participation in computer science education in high poverty, rural areas of Mississippi.

Developing Inclusive K-12 Computing Pathways

Jeremy Roschelle

Digital Promise Global will join with the League of Innovative Schools to design, investigate and improve inclusive computing pathways for K-12 students. The project will address three research questions, each with a deliberate focus on access and equity, to increase underrepresented student participation.

A Partnership to Implement the Inclusive CS Model of Professional Development and a Digital Platform for Students with Disabilities

Amy Hutchison

Through a Research-Practitioner Partnership with Fairfax County Public Schools, this project will prepare teachers to both implement and design inclusive computer science curricula for all students, including those with high-incidence disabilities. To do so, the investigators will use the Inclusive Computer Science (ICS) Model of professional development (PD) and a universally-designed tool, created by the researchers, called the Digital Effective Platform for Inclusive Computational Thinking and Computer Science (DEPICT-CS).
