Our latest resource has brought together members of the CAS community to provide support for secondary computing leads to develop the subject in their school.
Leading secondary computing: reflections from the subject leader community complements the NCCE Computing Quality Framework and has been 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, which reflect the realities of the classroom and some of the challenges faced by secondary teachers.
The toolkit covers a range of topics, all with the aim of:
- Increasing teachers' confidence in their pedagogical and subject knowledge
- Raising their awareness of parent and pupil use of technology
- Providing them with ways to demonstrate their subject expertise, particularly when talking to parents, external partners, SLT and Ofsted.
Links to resources recommended by CAS community members are included throughout, which enable teachers to easily find out further information and identify their next steps.
