Resource description

This resource is a spreadsheet that can be distributed to pupils to allow pupils to track their own progress through the AQA 8525 GCSE Computer Science course. Giving pupils ownership of their progress and results rather than them being perceived by pupils as something that is controlled by and as the responsibility of the teacher can aid students to become self-directed learners.

Versions

There is a .xlsx for Microsoft Excel using schools and a copy link to a Google Sheets version for Google using schools.

How to use the spreadsheet

Rather than typing written instructions there is a 5-minute video displaying how to use the different elements of the spreadsheet. Note that the video is for the OCR J277 specification and this doanload is for the AQA 8525 version.

Password protection (.xlsx version)

Most of the first sheet (My Progress) and a part of the second sheet (Work Record) are locked to prevent pupils from accidentally (or purposely) editing the formulas. The password to unlock the sheets is: **csteacher**
