insight into how to support all students to equitablyengage in interdisciplinary STEM+CS instruction. Specifically, this paper addresses thefollowing research questions: (1) In what ways do elementary teachers verbally support theintegration of science and computer science into engineering lessons and to what extent are thesesupports planned in curricular materials or added in-the-moment? (2) To what extent do teachers’verbal supports for integration differ between two different classroom contexts?BackgroundEngineering in elementary classrooms National frameworks call for K-12 students to engage in engineering projects thatintegrate science, mathematics, and computer science (American Society for EngineeringEducation (ASEE), 2020; NRC

American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) recently reaffirmed its commitment todiversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to support engineering students and faculty from allbackgrounds. The statement powerfully stated that diverse backgrounds and experiences shouldbe seen as a source of strength and growth rather than something that separates us. However, DEIis not seen as simply a matter of recruiting more students from underrepresented groups; in orderto promote DEI, systemic barriers must be eliminated [2]. One of these barriers is the way thatengineering programs grade students. Programs no longer need to “weed out” students; rather,they need to support as many students as possible to develop the large number of engineers thatour society
