The 2014 Curriculum renamed “ICT” as “Computing” and shifted the emphasis considerably towards the programming aspects of computer science. One negative of this otherwise-welcome change was a drop in the time spent using and applying computer software for research, presentation and other skills. This full-day course, part of our Beyond the Core portfolio, explores ways to raise standards in both of those areas. The training will:

• Increase your confidence in programming concepts and terminology
• Offer easy-to-implement strategies and activities to improve teaching and learning
• Explore computing in the context of “cultural capital” and Ofsted’s new Inspection Framework
• Enable your school to continue its journey towards excellence.

Audience:

• Class teachers and teaching assistants (all years)
• Computing coordinators, curriculum leads
• Senior leadership

As a direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic we are now live-streaming all of our courses. Please see our livestream dates below. 

We plan to resume in-venue courses as and when government guidelines safely allow us to do so.
