Institute for Advancing Computing Education

Contracted with csedresearch.org as a pass through entity for government funding. The organization filed articles of amendment with the state of Illinois to change its name to Institute for Advancing Computing Education effective june 15, 2023. Not applicable as there were no such committees during the year. The president & ceo reviews the return intiially. Once any concerns have been addressed, a draft of the return is sent to the chair and treasurer for their review. Once chair and treasurer are satisfied with the draft, the final version is sent to the entire board for their review. Once any board concerns have been addressed, the return is filed with the irs. Directors and officers must sigh every year. for the president & ceo, the organization uses an evaluation form with a form with a non-profit standard rubric, comparable data from published sources of other non-profits in similar fields, and benefits for similar non-profits. The president & ceo rescuses themself from the board discussion and the remainder of the board, led by the chair, discuss performance against key metrics, comparable data, and the rubric to determine the final salary package for the upcoming year. Grade bands for all employees were used in combination with written annual reviews to determine pay increases. Additionally, a one-time cost of living adjustment was made to all employees in 2022. All materials are available upon request.

We host over 120 instruments for evaluating self-efficacy, grit, knowledge and more in Computing Education. Current porjects include: jrotic cyber academy 2021: funded by whatcome community college via a national science foundation grant, the organiation evaluated an intense summer course designed to address the national cybersecurity shortage by providing training to 100 high school jrotc cadets. The organization delivered a formal report to the team and the affiliated advisory boards to improve thr academy in 2021 to improve its program for scaling it to 500 students in 2022. Program service accomplishments: research practice partnership bewteen csforall and codecrew: funded by the national science foundation, we are measuring the effectveness of this rpp that will connect the tenessee state level actions with school and district level plans and data, focusing explicitly on the pathways designed and experienced by students as they move through k-12 programs. The team will also design teacher pathways with a focus on initial teacher preparation as well as the development of advanced teacher knowledge. Script crew tn: impacts of state-wide script on cs Education pathways in tn: as evaluators on this research practice partnership between csforall and codecrew, we are measuring the effectiveness of this rpp that will connect the tennesse state level actions with school and district level plans and data, focusing explicitly on the pathways designed and experienced by students as they move through k-12 programs. The team will also design eteacher pathways with a focus on initial teacher preparation as well as the dwvelopment of advanced teacher knowledge.

We design, conduct, promote, support and disseminate research that k-12 educators find relevant and actionable. 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 underrepresenteddiscoveries 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. Csedresearch.org supportings the research and evaluation of this project.
