style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">NSF
has a long history of supporting K-12 computer
science education. For example, in FY 2017, NSF
issued a new program solicitation called Computer
Science for All Researcher-Practitioner Partnerships
(CSforAll:RPP). In anticipation of continuing these
investments in FY 2018, we intend to hold two
workshops, much like those held before last year’s
solicitation, to provide technical assistance to RPP
teams in formulating their activities. Designed by
the Research + Practice Collaboratory, these 1.5 day
workshops will engage teams with different models of
RPPs, strategies and tools for forming and
maintaining RPPs, and data collection and analysis
approaches well-suited to RPPs. Additionally,
cognizant NSF program officers will discuss the
solicitation and criteria for competitive proposals.
This hands-on workshop will provide teams time to
work on research questions, designs, and proposals.</span><span
