Getting Unstuck

Getting Unstuck

Front: Students need strategies to attack a problem when they get stuck. Explicit strategies for problem solving help students regulate their emotions, continue their learning and persist.

Back: Encourage students to step away from the problem and take a short brain break. Suggest they collaborate with a peer to problem solve, including a description of what they want their program to do, where they're stuck, and read the code aloud. Remind students to collaborate, tinker, debug and persevere.
