Participant Support Costs for SP0037818

The current proposal expands on this existing work to pursue the following objectives. First, the project will validate and expand the CT in STEM Taxonomy. This effort will be in conjunction with an advisory board of computational scientists who will help identify critical skills for future computational professionals in STEM disciplines. Second, the team will greatly expand the curriculum library in part by collecting and curating existing curricular activities from a variety of sources. Third, the team will validate and refine our suite of assessments. Fourth, the team will create a scalable online PD system to train entire schools and hundreds of teachers (who will in turn impact thousands of students). Finally, the project will create an online platform and analytic tools for delivering our curriculum, PD materials, and assessments to interested schools and districts.
