Computer Science Principles through Concurrent Enrollment (CE) Research Practitioner Partnership
The Mobile CSP project has formed a Research-Practitioner Partnership (RPP) with CE programs at Capital Community College in Hartford, Connecticut and Southwest Minnesota State University in Minnesota and with partner school districts in each state. Master teachers for the project include James Veseskis of Hartford Magnet Trinity College (CT) and Ryan Lindsay of Northeast Range School (MN) and our grant evaluator is Megan Deiger.

Q: I am not teaching the Mobile CSP course in the CE format? Can I still volunteer to submit program evaluation data?
A: The Mobile CSP research project has scaled back and is currently only accepting research data submissions from those enrolled in our CE partnership program with Capital Community College and Southwest Minnesota State University.
Why should I volunteer to participate in research?
Why should I volunteer to participate in research?
Our ultimate goal is to create a fun and effective CSP course where ALL teachers and students can be successful. The data we collect from our program evaluation project gives us valuable insight into the effectiveness of our PD and curriculum and also provides feedback about how we can improve our materials for all students and teachers. Research project participants - both teachers and students - have an opportunity to provide feedback directly to the Mobile CSP curriculum and research teams. We use feedback from our surveys and findings from our analysis to directly inform any changes we make to our curriculum and training.
Teachers who volunteer to participate in the research project will also have the latest Mobile CSP midterm and final exam created and graded for them. Teachers simply distribute the link and student tokens and Mobile CSP does the rest.
Will I receive compensation for volunteering to participate in the research project?
Will I receive compensation for volunteering to participate in the research project?
Teachers will NOT receive financial compensation or stipends for volunteering to participate in research. However, Mobile CSP will create and grade our latest midterm and final exam for research volunteers.

The Mobile CSP program evaluation research project ran from 2014-2020. We have downsized our project for the 2020-21 academic year and beyond. We are no longer asking our AP or non-AP teacher partners to facilitate student data collection but will continue internal program evaluation to ensure the effectiveness of the Mobile CSP course will continue. An optional survey will be shared with teachers and students at the end of the academic year.
