<h1>Are you an instructor who cares about your students feeling like they can succeed in your class?</h1>

<p>
We have been interviewing students to understand their perceptions of their programming abilities, and we've
heard things like this in our interviews. Even though we expect students to make mistakes, struggle, take
time to work on assignments, and engage in other behaviors towards learning programming, <i>students think
they are doing poorly when they engage in these typical moments in the programming process!</i>
</p>

<p><b>Why is this happening, and how can we help students set more realistic expectations for their programming
and learning processes?</b></p>

<h1 id="summary">Workshop summary</h1>

<p><b>Session 1: August 1, 2024 @ 12-3 PM CDT (UTC-5) (<a href="https://dateful.com/eventlink/2120892744"
target="_blank">in your time zone</a>)</b></p>

<p>In this first session, you will learn about recent research on student beliefs about their programming
abilities and collaboratively brainstorm designs for classroom interventions to help students accurately
evaluate their ability.</p>

<p><b>Session 2: August 8, 2024 @ 12-3 PM CDT (UTC-5) (<a href="https://dateful.com/eventlink/1973009417"
target="_blank">in your time zone</a>)</b></p>

<p>In this optional second session, you will have the opportunity to dive deeper and flesh out the designs
developed during the previous session.</p>

<p><b>Sign up for the workshop at <a href="" target="_blank">this link</a></b></p>


<h1 id="goals">Workshop goals</h1>
<p>Together with intro computing instructors who care about student motivation, you will...</p>

<ul>
<li>Reflect on and share your existing practices that support students</li>
<li>Learn about recent research on students’ expectations for their learning and programming</li>
<li>Brainstorm ideas for interventions you can try in your classes to help students develop more accurate
expectations for their programming and learning processes</li>
<li>Collaborate on designing, implementing, and evaluating your intervention ideas, if you are interested
</li>
</ul>

<p>Our goal for this workshop is for you to leave with more ideas for how to support students’ in developing a
more accurate understanding of their own programming abilities. </p>

<p><i>If you are interested in testing these ideas in your classroom, we would love to chat to discuss potential
collaborations!</i></p>

<p><b>Registration: </b> <a href="" target="_blank">link to registration form</a></p>
<p><b>What: </b>an interactive workshop where you will meet, discuss with, and collaborate with other intro
computing instructors</p>
<p><b>When: </b>August 1, 2024 and August 8, 2024 @ 12 - 3 PM CDT (UTC-5) (<a
href="https://dateful.com/eventlink/2120892744" target="_blank">in your time zone</a>)</p>
<p><b>Why: </b>We are researchers interested in understanding the design possibilities, constraints, and
obstacles for interventions to support students in developing more accurate expectations for their
programming abilities. We want to build a community of colleagues also invested in student motivation and
success to design and deploy interventions so that we may collectively improve student retention in
computing. Learn more about our research <a href="research.html">here.</a></p>
