Talk with Faculty Colleagues About Stereotype Threat

This Talking Point Card explains stereotype threat and how it is triggered, shares examples of effects from stereotype threat, and suggests ways to create a stereotype threat-free environment for attracting able and diverse students to computing. It is a companion piece to the slide deck Stereotypes and Stereotype Threat Affect Computing Students (www.ncwit.org/stereotypethreatslides). You can hand this card to your colleagues and then share the slides at a faculty meeting.
