计算机科学项目的教师需要什么额外的支持才能有效地教授神经性不同的学生？尽管许多神经性不同的学生(如多动症、自闭症)每年都注册参加计算机科学项目，但很少有人毕业。这些学生经常很难与导师沟通他们的需求，而导师又缺乏培训来确定如何最好地支持神经质多样的学生。这可能会导致教师无意中使用不利于学生成功的做法，最终影响学生在本科课程中的归属感。这个BoF将为教师和CS专业的神经学专业毕业生提供一个平台，讨论与教师和学生需求有关的几个主要话题：(1)学员在计算机科学课程中与神经学专业学生的经验，(2)学员与神经学专业学生合作的策略，以及(3)教师的专业发展需求和偏好。这一讨论既为教师提供了向其他教师或CS学生学习更多的机会，也为NSF资助的参与式设计研究提供了支持，以提高学生在本科CS项目中的留存能力，并为教师提供有效的培训。与会者将了解该项目，并被邀请在会议结束后随时了解正在进行的项目的最新情况，免费获得通过赠款开发的工具和课程，以便在得到后在自己的教室中使用。
What additional supports do instructors in Computer Science programs need to effectively teach neurodiverse students?Although many neurodiverse students (eg, with ADHD, autism) enroll in Computer Science programs each year, few graduate. These students often struggle to communicate their needs to instructors, who in turn lack training to determine how best to support neurodiverse students. This can result in instructors unintentionally using practices that are detrimental to student success, which ultimately impacts students’ sense of belonging in undergraduate programs. This BoF will provide a platform for instructors and neurodiverse graduates from CS programs to discuss several major topics relating to instructor and student needs:(1) The experiences participants have had with neurodiverse students in Computer Science programs,(2) Strategies participants have used to work with neurodiverse students, and (3) Instructors’ professional development needs and preferences. This discussion represents both an opportunity for instructors to learn more from other instructors or CS students and supports an NSF-funded participatory design study to improve neurodiverse students’ retention in undergraduate CS programs and provide effective training to instructors. Participants will learn about the project and be invited to stay up-to-date on the progressing project after the conference, with free access to the tools and curriculum developed through the grant for use in their own classrooms as they become available.
