  • Avoid standing in front of the students as this can make the discussion feel more like a lecture, which may discourage discourse.

Assign content as homework that students can learn from reading (like FOR loop syntax) so you can spend class time on more difficult topics where teacher guidance is the most needed (like what code goes inside of a loop).
Let students try large-scale projects they come up with to build their sense of personal ability.
Hold yourself to the same standards your students comply with to reinforce that these standards exist for a reason, out of respect for each other and learning.
