Abstract

Abstract:

Secure and Upgrade Computer Science in Classrooms through an Ecosystem with Scalability & Sustainability is an NSF-funded Computer Science (CS) educational Research-Practice Partnership whose shared goal is to provide high quality CS educational opportunities to all middle school students in rural Raleigh County West Virginia (WV) before expanding to additional districts. The project will help districts meet recent WV requirements that all K-12 students be exposed to a variety of CS experiences throughout their careers. Specifically, SUCCESS is creating a “Design Research Partnership”, made up of CS experts and Raleigh County teachers, counselors, and principals, who are adapting and implementing the Code.org curriculum in middle school classes, and creating (and later providing) middle school teacher CS PD and counselor and administrator workshops in years 2 and 3. SUCCESS is also creating a Video Library with local CS and STEM professionals, providing technical support, and conducting a research study of the impact of the implementation on Raleigh District teachers, counselors, principals, and their students. These results are shared with partners to iteratively improve all aspects of the project and are also disseminated to WV state, district, and other partners. We discuss progress to date, as well as results of analyses of pre-implementation survey responses from participating teachers and their students.
