Cuny was strongly encouraging us to attend. Feb 5-6 is obviously
too soon. Mar 1-2 (Chicago) is pretty much impossible for me --
I'm already double-committed on Fri Mar 2 and am trying to figure
out which thing has to give. Is anybody else interested? I had
hoped we might be able to get David Weintrop to join a team (which
I think could really help us to strengthen our research plan for a
resubmission of the CSforAll proposal), but Megean said he's not
available on those dates.</font><br class="">

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 style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif" class=""></span></p><div style="" class=""><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif" class=""> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif" class="">Teams
