This course explores critical elements of the classroom in order to create an environment that is welcoming for everyone. Elements include classroom population, instruction, classroom environment, and avoiding microaggressions. Participants will better understand their students’ sense of belonging in their classroom and develop plans to increase it.

We designed this online professional development course to provide a flexible, deep learning experience you can complete at your own pace. Course content includes meaningful and interactive activities focused on application to your CS classroom — you’ll do much more than just read and watch. Plus, you will experience asynchronous collaboration with other CS educators as you both give and get feedback and exchange ideas.

You will receive full access to the online course for a 10-week term from July 23, 2025 to September 28, 2025. You can complete the course by spending about an hour per week or completing it in brief sprints. While we have suggested timing, you may complete it at your own pace.

When the term ends on September 28, 2025, you will no longer be able to progress toward your course assignments and activities, but you will still be able to access course materials. You will receive a signed digital certificate indicating you have completed 8 hours of professional learning.

Note that registrants will NOT receive the invitation email from Coursera immediately after registering, you will be added to the course at the end of the week. We appreciate your understanding.

The last enrollment date is Friday, September 12 by 11:59 p.m. EST.
