Get to Know NCWIT’s Undergraduate System Model

The NCWIT Undergraduate System Model is a conceptual framework designed for change leaders in undergraduate computing programs. It provides a strategic, sustainable approach to building educational systems that work for everyone.

Based on extensive reviews of relevant theory, empirical research, and experience reports, the model identifies crucial, system-level features and action areas. It recommends specific actions and strategies to help your team plan and implement change efforts that broaden participation and improve the experiences and outcomes of all students.

This resource is designed to help you:

• Adopt an evidence-based framework for systemic change in your department.
• Identify key action areas to focus your efforts.
• Access recommended strategies to improve the experiences of all students in computing.

The NCWIT Higher Ed Alliance also offers a full suite of resources that build upon this model, including strategic planning and assessment tools. Contact [email protected] to learn more.
