our context, UTAs, usuallyjunior or senior undergraduate students, can assist with recitation and laboratory activities,providing a welcoming presence for women in computing and challenging the prevailing culture.A practical solution involves training UTAs in inclusive pedagogy to better cater to the diverseneeds of Computer Science (CS) students. Leveraging existing research and the current LearningAssistants and Graders program at the institution, the study focuses on efficiently andincrementally implementing UTAs in our school's first three programming courses (CS1, CS2,and CS3). The strategy involves undergraduates adopting peer teaching roles in active learningenvironments. The goal is to offer personalized attention in large classes

, individuals whoexcel at research are often respected above those who excel at teaching and/or service roles.There are also gender, race, and social class hierarchies (e.g., men over women, White overpeople of color, wealthy over poor) [3], [4]. Unfortunately, cultural issues like hierarchy are slowto change.Ahlam Lee did an extensive literature review of “hierarchical microaggression” in highereducation; among 187 articles about microaggressions and bullying, 115 were classified asexamples of hierarchical microaggressions (HM) [5].

Accordingly, Kovarik, Robinson, & Wenzel [19]state that when students engage in collaborative activities, they are more likely to form newfriendships with their classmates, both in lectures and in the laboratory. In turn, this encouragessocialization and can result in students identifying study partners with whom to connect outsideof class time. In addition, collaborative work helps people to practice verbal and writtencommunication skills. All this enhances self-efficacy and sense of belonging.
