2016 NSF Workshop on Cooperative Learning for CS Principles
This form captures application information from those who would like to attend the NSF-sponsored workshop on Cooperative Learning for CS Principles. The workshop will be held during CSPDWeek at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO, during the week of July 18-22, 2016. Participants will arrive on Sunday, July 17th for an optional evening dinner and participate in the workshop all day Monday-Friday (participants are expected to attend ALL days of the workshop). The workshop is an official College Board APSI and all participants will have their registration covered for the workshop. There are three levels of participation in terms of stipend and travel support, as summarized in the last question below.

The workshop will provide participants with a general understanding of cooperative learning theory and research foundations that support improved engagement and diversity in mixed-ability classrooms. Participants will learn how the cooperative learning structures can be applied to specific contexts within CS Principles through example lesson plans and team discussion sessions. Each participant will receive a copy of the College Board training materials for the APSI, as well as a textbook that summarizes cooperative learning structures.

The workshop is designed for high school teachers who want to learn about how cooperative learning strategies can be infused into their CS Principles course. An expectation is that each participant will be teaching a CS Principles course some time during the 2016-2017 academic year.
