Secondary Leaders Toolkit

Developed in conjunction with secondary teachers and computing education experts, detailed guidance is outlined from existing computing subject leads, with comprehensive case studies from active practitioners. This toolkit reflects the realities of the classroom and some of the challenges faced by secondary teachers - particularly non-specialists as they continue to develop their subject and pedagogical knowledge.
