Asking For Help

Asking For Help

Front: Teachers should model and practice using built-in tools and outside resources to find information and help. Students need a variety of strategies for solving problems. CS classrooms need routines for asking for help.

Back: Teach explicit strategies for monitoring and checking work. Create a routine visual signal for students to use when they need to ask for help: a specific hand signal, writing their name on a whiteboard, or the use of cue cards, colored sticky notes, cups, traffic light cards, or emojis will help students alert you to their need for help and regulate their frustration.
