Paint A Picture

Provide an overview of what you're about to do before you do it.

Slow Your Code

Code Out Loud

Talk about the code as you write it, and explain your thought process.

Be Real

When you make a mistake, address it openly and talk through how to fix it.

Model A Growth Mindset

Be willing to say "I don't know!", and show them how you find the answer.

Have Patience

After you ask a question, wait until the silence is uncomfortable, and then wait some more before you jump in.
