This presentation discussed the Computer Science Teaching and Learning Collaboratory (CS-TLC), a researcher-practitioner partnership (RPP) funded by the National Science Foundation. The CS-TLC brings together educators, administrators, university faculty, and community partners to address shared challenges in computer science education through collaborative professional development, research, and evaluation. The presentation highlighted the partnership's structure, professional learning opportunities including face-to-face summer institutes and monthly virtual sessions, and its focus on building pedagogical content knowledge among CS educators while promoting equity and inclusion in computer science education. Key outcomes presented include increased teacher self-efficacy, improved instructional practices, and enhanced student engagement and achievement in computer science courses.
