Create a program where local high school students come to your elementary school to teach younger students computer science in order to give your students relatable role models.
Have your research students maintain a weekly blog so they can share what they complete each week and serve as an example for other, curious students.
Have students pair program to increase their interactions with one another, promote retention of female students, and maximize resources.
Have students use Android devices with App Inventor to ease the process of viewing their app on a device; this provides them with meaningful motivation.
Design class activities that incorporate a student's local knowledge with specific computer science content and practices to enable engagement in deep learning.
When students are learning HTML and CSS, have them make personal websites featuring their resumés and hobbies or websites about another topic they find meaningful.
Use a random method for selecting students to answer questions in order to give all students an equal opportunity to participate.
Use humor in class that does not rely on race, gender, ability, class, etc. because those jokes are made at the expense of a diverse set of students and create a very unwelcome classroom environment.
Make sure not to ask students of color questions that essentialize their entire race or racism, don’t make the assumption that students of color are experts on all things related to their culture or racism.
Don’t express shock or “compliment” students for breaking stereotypes associated with their race or gender; these statements are microaggressions, they discriminate against these students, often unintentionally.
