Evaluation of the Computer Science for All: Reseach-Partnership Practice Program

NSF’s Computer Science for All (CS4All): Research-Practice Partnerships (RPPS) program was designed to foster research and development to provide all U.S. students the opportunity to participate in computer science (CS) and computational thinking (CT) education in schools at the preK-12 level. The program awarded grants aimed at providing high school teachers with the preparation, PD and ongoing supports to teach rigorous CS courses; preK-8 teachers with instructional materials and preparation they need to integrate CS and CT into their teaching; and schools and districts the resources needed to define and evaluate multi-grade pathways in CS and CT. NSF provides an annual report to Congress on the success of the program as measured by short-, mid- and long-term metrics that NSF identifies. FY 2023 marks the first year in which longer-term metrics (those measured beyond the 5-year mark) are to be included. This will require collecting data from grantees to document the longer-term metrics, given that many of these grants will have ended.
