CE21 PI and STEM-C Partnerships Community MeetingDay 2Orlando, FL Welcome
STEM-CP: CE21 Solicitation • BP and CER tracks merged (BPEC) • BP required for CS 10K • CS Education Expansion • track added
BPEC Goal • Research on the effective teaching and learning of computing skills and concepts • particular attention to educational practices that are effective for students from underrepresented groups • pedagogy or student learning of computing fundamentalsapplicable to K-12 • Awards for up to 3 years, up to $600,000
BPEC Possibilities (pick any) conduct basic research on the teaching and learning of computational competencies in face-to-face or virtualsettings design, develop, test, validate, and refine materials, measurement tools, and methods for teaching in specific contexts; implementpromising small-scale interventions in order to study the efficacy of those interventions with particular groups underrepresented in computing educational and workforce settings.
BPEC Projects must… • Strong research component • With sufficient expertise • Build upon and contribute to research base • Evaluation plan if there is an intervention • Major focus on some underrepresented group
Underrepresented groups? • Women • African-Americans • Hispanics • Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islander territories • Persons with disabilities • Possibly other groups with computing-specific underrepresentation
Of Particular Interest • Learning progressions • Evidence-based pedagogical techniques • Effective contexts for introducing computing • Leveraging resources of BPC Alliances
Extra review considerations • Is the expertise represented on the project team appropriate for the proposed work? • Are appropriate toolsavailable to generate reliableand validdata addressing the research question(s)? • Is the potential high for sustainable, national significance in terms of both increasing and broadeningparticipation in computing ?
CS 10K • Get engaging, rigorous computing curricula into computing courses in 10,000 high schools, taught by 10,000 well-prepared teachers by 2016 or so. csprinciples.orgexploringcs.org cs10kcommunity.org
CS 10K Track Goal Develop the knowledge base and partnerships needed to catalyze the CS 10K Project • Professional development and ongoing teacher support • Course materials and pedagogy • Best practices addressing underrepresentation • Approaches to scaling • Strategies for building partnerships • Online support for teachers or content • Awards for up to 3 years, up to $1,000,000
CS 10K Considerations • Is the partnership for the proposed intervention appropriate and is it likely to support sustainable change? • How does the evaluation plan link project goals to student/teacher outcomes? • How is the project informed by research on education or broadening participation? • What institutional change will result?
CS Education Expansion Eligibility: • Current or previous MSP • At high school level • Expansion will support CS 10K • ECS or CS Principles • Proposal must be • Partnership Driven • Teacher Quality Quantity, & Diversity • Challenging Courses and Curriculum • Evidence-based Design and Outcomes • Institutional Change • Awards for up to 3 years, up to $500,000
