CURRENT RESEARCH PRODUCTS INCLUDE: JROTC-CS IMPACT STUDY - WE ARE CONDUCTING RESEARCH INTO THE IMPACT OF THE CSFORALL JROTC-CS INTERVENTION, WHICH IS DESIGNED TO BRING COMPUTER SCIENCE AND CYBERSECURITY EDUCATION TO STUDENTS AT HIGH SCHOOLS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES THAT HAVE JROTC PROGRAMS. WE HAVE PRESENTED FINDINGS IN FREE, PUBLICLY AVAILABLE WEBINARS WITH OVER 120 PEOPLE ATTENDING IN TOTAL. THE LONGER TERM GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO IMPROVE THE INTERVENTION SO THAT IT CAN BE BROUGHT TO NUMEROUS PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS IN THE UNITED STATES AND BE MORE EFFECTIVE IN REACHING STUDENTS. BUILDING HIGH-QUALITY K-12 COMPUTER SCIENCE EDUCATION RESEARCH ACROSS AN OUTCOME FRAMEWORK OF EQUITABLE CAPACITY, ACCESS, PARTICIPATION, AND EXPERIENCE: THIS PROJECT SEEKS TO ADDRESS THE CRITICAL NEED FOR HIGH-QUALITY, EQUITY FOCUSED K-12 EDUCATION RESEARCH (CER) ACROSS THE U.S. TO MEET THE NEEDS OF FINDING PROMISING PRACTICES FOR TEACHING COMPUTING TO ALL STUDENTS. THE RESEARCH WILL ANALYZE EXISTING AND ONGOING RESEARCH AND DEVELOP GUIDELINES FOR CONDUCTING HIGH-QUALITY, EQUITY FOCUSED RESEARCH. ONE GOAL IS TO IDENTIFY BARRIERS AND GAPS IN EQUITY-FOCUSED RESEARCH ACROSS K-12 COMPUTNG EDUCATION USING THE CAPACITY, ACCESS, PARTICIPATION, AND EXPERIENCE (CAPE) FRAMEWORK AS A LENS FOR ANALYSIS. THOSE RESULTS WILL BE USED TO DEVELOP WORKSHOPS TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF RESEARCHERS TO INCLUDE AND FOCUS EQUITY. HINDSIGHT 2020 - THE PURPOSE OF THIS NSF-FUNDED PROJECT IS TO ANALYZE AND TO LEARN FROM THE UNIQUE EXPERIENCE OF 2020 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (PD) PROGRAMS FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE (CS) TEACHERS. WE CONTRIBUTED TO THE CREATION OF TWO SIGNIFICANT WHITE PAPERS THAT ARE FREELY AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC TO USE WHEN CREATING VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. ENGINEERING PLUS ALLIANCE - ENGINERRING PLUS IS FUNDED BY THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION (NSF) AS A PART OF NSF INCLUDES (INCLUSION ACROSS THE NATION OF COMMUNITIES OF LEARNERS OF UNDER REPRESENTED DISCOVERIES IN ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE) PROGRAM. NSF INCLUDES IS A NATIONAL INITIATIVE THAT ENHANCES U.S. LEADERSHIP WITH THE MAJOR FOCUS ON DIVERSITY, INCLUSION, AND BROADENING PARTICIPATION IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS (STEM). ENGINEERING PLUS AIMS TO BUILD A SYSTEM AND A NETWORK TO INCREASE ENGINEERING DEGREES AMONG WOMEN AND BIPOC (BLACK, INDIGENOUS, AND OTHER PEOPLE OF COLOR) NATIONALLY. THE VISION FOR THE ENGINEERING PLUS ALLIANCE IS TO ACHIEVE TRANSFORMATIVE, SYSTEMIC AND SUSTAINABLE CHANGE THAT WILL INCREASE THE GROWTH RATE IN THE NUMBER OF BIPOC AND WOMEN OBTAINING UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE DEGREES BY 10% AND GRADUATE DEGREES BY 5% ACROSS THESE UNDERREPRESENTED POPULATIONS, WE AIM TO INCREASE THE ANNUAL NUMBER OF DEGREES AWARDED THESE POPULATIONS TO 100,000/30,000 (BS/MS-PHD) AND ESTABLISH A FUTURE GROWTH RATE THAT CAN SUSTANTIALLY CLOSE THE AFOREMENTIONED GAPS. OUR MISSION IS TO IMPLEMENT THE STRATEGY POSED BY OUR HYPOTHESIS, WITH EMPHASIS ON FOSTERING SYSTEMS CHANGES AT KEY TRANSITION POINTS OF EDUCATIONAL PATHWAYS.
