Wh Why is there a lack of diversity in computing?

  • Lack of knowledge of what computing is
  • Misconceptions about what people in computing

jobs do

  • Stereotypes about who you “need to be” to do

well in computing

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Wh What can we do about it?

  • Actively recruit for diversity
  • Utilize research based, best-practice retention strategies

that will engage your students and sustain their interest

  • Create an environment that fosters interest, confidence,

learning, sense of belonging, and occupational identity

  • Some examples of what we’ll talk about in this workshop:
  • Inclusive pedagogy
  • Stereotype threat and how to avoid it
  • Case study on implementing workshop strategies
