Stereotypes and Stereotype Threat Affect Computing Students | NCWIT

Hooray for NCWIT, for producing materials aimed at higher-education faculty to get them to change their teaching practices!  Stereotype threat is real (measurable, reliable, consistent), and can be addressed through better teaching.  It’s worth the effort to try to get faculty to pay attention to these issues.

This slide deck is a companion piece to the NCWIT Talking Point Card Talk with Faculty Colleagues About Stereotype Threat (www.ncwit.org/stereotypethreattp). You can hand out the card to your colleagues and then share these slides at a faculty meeting.
