We partner with public, private, and community-based organizations to address educational inequities and improve student success. While most of our work centers on the Pacific Northwest, our evaluations, technical assistance, and research studies have national impact and provide timely and actionable results.  \nThis report presents implementation fidelity findings from Education Northwest’s research on Louisiana State University’s proposal A Modern Approach to the Integration of Programming and Mathematics, which outlines an Introduction to Computational Thinking course and was funded by a federal Education Innovation and Research early-phase grant (U411C190287) .  \nCONTACT  \nEducation Northwest  \n1417 NW Everett Street, Suite 310 Portland, OR 97209 [educationnorthwest.org](educationnorthwest.org)[ ](educationnorthwest.org)503.275.9500  \nSUGGESTED CITATION  \nRoccograndi, A. & Hodara, M.

Education Northwest.  \nACKNOWLEDGMENTS  \nWe offer our thanks to the following individuals who supported the implementation fidelity study: Juana Moreno and Fernando Alegre from Louisiana State University; Introduction to Computational Thinking teachers who completed surveys and participated in focus groups; and Ming Yin, Eric Gold, and Valerie Brodnikova from Education Northwest.  \nExecutive Summary  \nLouisiana State University (LSU) received a federal Education Innovation and Research (EIR) grant to develop and implement its Introduction to Computational Thinking (ICT) course from fall 2019 through spring 2023. ICT is a yearlong course, typically offered in grades 9 or 10, that develops students’ understanding of mathematical concepts and computational thinking and increases student engagement and interest in mathematics and computer sciences. The course uses a highlevel programming language (codeworld-api) that enables students to build their knowledge of mathematical functions using computing commands that resemble mathematical notation. ICT can be offered as a standalone course and is a required core course for all students in grades 9 or 10 who choose to participate in an LSU STEM Pathway.  \nFor this project, ICT was implemented in high schools in East Baton Rouge Parish (EBR), which is considered high need; non-EBR high schools that are considered high need, many in rural areas; and non-EBR high schools that are considered low need, many in suburban areas. Need is defined by the percentage of students in a district who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.  \nImplementation fidelity  \nEducation Northwest is conducting both impact and implementation evaluations of ICT. The implementation evaluation assesses whether the key support components of the course are being implemented with adequate fidelity to the design. This second of two implementation reports primarily covers the 2022–23 implementation year, including summer 2022. In summary tables (such as table ES-1, below) we also provide findings from the prior year, 2021–22, as a comparison.  \nWe measure the implementation fidelity of each of ICT’s four main support components separately. Each component is defined by multiple indicators, which may be assessed at different levels (e.g., teacher, school, program) and then aggregated to the component level. For each component, we define a program-level threshold that determines whether or not the component was implemented with fidelity across the program in a particular year. At the component level, in the 2022–23 school year, two of the four components were implemented with low fidelity—ICT teacher traini","cbCaijCvGBSyp5ae","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijCvGBSyp5ae","pdf",787493,48,"English","# Executive Summary\n## Course overview and implementation context\n# Implementation Fidelity\n## Evaluation purpose and measurement approach\n## Program and component-level findings (2021–22 vs 2022–23)","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this implementation fidelity report?\",\"answer\":\"The report presents implementation fidelity findings from Education Northwest’s research on LSU’s proposed Introduction to Computational Thinking course.
