The RPPforCS project connects the teams through virtual meetings (webinars), in-person meetings, and meetings of the R-EWG. Here you will find information about the participating grant teams, project activities, and resources from the project.
Searchable RPP Database and Maps
This database allows you to search through our existing community of projects on a range of characteristics. You can use this resource to find people who are geographically close to you, working on a similar problem of practice, working with a similar student or teacher population, and more!
The first map of the embedded “RPPforCS Projects Map”, "Projects by Research Team" shows the dispersion of project PIs across the country. The second map, "Projects by Implementation Location" demonstrates the distribution of projects by the proposed state of implementation. The “RPPforCS District Maps” insert provides a map of US school districts within which one or more NSF: CSforAll RPPs are operating, as well as tables of demographic data for these districts. All of these maps have a set of demographic data associated with projects and/or locations that can be filtered upon.
At this time these features are only available for viewing on your desktop. Sorry for any inconvenience!
RPP Project Database
The RPPforCS searchable database allows you to search through our existing community of projects on a range of characteristics. You can use this resource to find people who are geographically close to you, working on a similar problem of practice, working with a similar student or teacher population, and more! The database will automatically update itself with your chosen filters shortly after selecting them.
​
If you are looking for potential BPC partners, then you may find the following filters the most useful:
-
The “District Population” filters allow you to search for projects by the populations of the districts that they are known to be operating in. Note that these are not necessarily the target population, but may provide insight into the environment that a project is operating in.
-
The “Urban/Rural Class” filter allows you to search for projects by the US Census designation of projects’ district partners.
-
The “Keywords” filter allows you to search for projects by key areas of focus, such as pathways programs or PD delivery.
-
The “State of Implementation” filter allows you to search for projects by state. Only states with at least one project are listed.
CT4EDU
Michigan State University
Aman Yadav
Michigan State University, in partnership with the Oakland Intermediate School District and the American Institute for Research, proposes a project to design, implement, and assess a high-quality, integrated curriculum, and professional development that supports elementary school teachers in embedding CT into their classrooms.
AccessCSforAll
University of Washington; University of Nevada Las Vegas
Richard Ladner
The University of Washington, in collaboration with the University of Nevada Las Vegas, proposes AccessCSforAll, a project to develop strategies, tools, and curricula needed to bring an accessible version of Advanced Placement (AP) Computer Science Principles (CSP) to students, including those with disabilities.
PUMP
American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences; The Learning Partnership
Carrie Scholz
This project seeks to build upon previous work done by Marquette University and the Learning Partnership to carefully assess and explore how prior CS exposure effects students later in K-5 CS pathways, why executions of CS initiatives are so unevenly effective between districts, and how to strengthen and expand current pathways.
CS Pathways RPP
SUNY at Albany; University of Massachusetts Lowell
Fred Martin
The University of Massachusetts Lowell and the University at Albany propose a project to build an RPP to create inclusive, culturally-responsive, and sustainable CS programs at the middle school level using best practices from research-practice partnerships, including the SCRIPT framework from the CSforALL Consortium.
CS-CLIC
Colorado Education Initiative
Gregory Hessee
The Colorado Education Initiative and it's collaborators propose a project to work with educators at high schools in Colorado on understanding the importance of engaging a diverse audience of students in AP Computer Science Principles, the using strategies to do so, and improving student learning in the classroom.
Expanding Pathways
Black Hill State University
Bentley Sayler
Black Hills State University proposes a project--Expanding Pathways into Computer Science across South Dakota--that builds on a current pilot project, extending its reach to profoundly rural regions and under-served students throughout the state to test and refine the pilot project's professional development program.
RPPforCS Project Maps
The first tab, "Projects by Research Team" shows the dispersion of NSF: CSforAll RPPs across the country. By toggling the filters on the right-hand side of the map you can filter the view by which Grade Band a project is targeting as well as the type of curriculum that the projects will be using. Note that points are staggered to allow overlapping projects to be visible.
​
The second tab, "Impact Area" demonstrates the distribution of NSF: CSforAll RPPs by the proposed state of implementation. As with the first map you can filter down by Grade Band and Curriculum Used. Mousing over or clicking on a state will display all grade bands being targeted by RPPs in that state, all curricula being used by RPPs in that state, and a list of all projects operating in that state.
RPPforCS District Maps
This set of maps details the districts that NSF: CSforAll RPPs are known to be partnered with and the overall demographics of students in those districts. These demographics do not necessarily represent the specific student subgroups (if any) being targeted by NSF: CSforAll RPPs, however. It should also be noted that projects will frequently only work directly with a subset of schools within a district, and a project's presence in a district on this map does not imply that they are working with every school in a given district.
​
All of these tabs can be filtered by searching for a project's name, by state, or by districts' urban/rural status as defined by the US Census.
​
The first tab "RPPforCS Continental District Map" displays all known public school districts partnered with one or more NSF: CSforAll RPPs.
​
The second and third tabs "District Race/Ethnicity Demographics vs. State Demographics" and "District Race/Ethnicity Demographics vs. National Demographics" provide details for each RPP-partnered school district's student demographics compared to their state or national student demographics, respectively. They also provide information on which projects are operating in each district. The "Examine by" drop-down menu in the top right of each tab can be used to select what demographic group to display data for.
​
The last tab "Other Demographic Information" shows district-level student data for the percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch as well as the percentage of those who are English as a second language/limited English proficiency students. Any blank rows indicate that there is currently no data for a given district.
