This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) provides $749,967 to the American Institutes for Research (AIR) and Teach For America (TFA) to investigate the motivational factors and experiences underlying Black teachers' decisions to become K-12 computer science (CS) educators. The two-year project, titled "Investigating Black Educator Attitudes and Motivations for Teaching K-12 Computer Science (BEAMS-CS)", will survey and conduct focus groups with pre-service and in-service Black teachers in the TFA corps to understand their perceptions, barriers, and facilitators related to teaching CS. This knowledge could inform efforts by alternative teacher preparation programs to recruit more Black CS teachers and expand the overall CS teacher workforce. TFA will serve as a sub-awardee, supporting the research and evaluation activities for this project. The award commenced on January 1, 2025 and is expected to be completed by December 31, 2027.
