Take the time to encourage girls and students of color and tell them that academic abilities can expand and improve, as they often internalize cultural expectations that they have little innate CS ability.
Have students do the most frustrating tasks in class, so that you can support them when they get stuck and prevent them from giving up or become overwhelmingly flustered.
Remind students that you’re there to help them, especially when students apologize for asking a question.
