Dave and I have spent the past 48 hours poring over the 197-page CAR report and the official 61-page government response. (A thrilling way to spend a couple of days…)
We’ve pulled together a summary that highlights what we believe are the most important takeaways for teachers — with a particular focus on those teaching Computing. You’re welcome to download it and use it however suits you best; we hope it proves useful.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll be recording a series of videos where we unpack some of the key points and explore the potential implications in more depth.
These will be shared on our second YouTube channel, created specifically for teachers: At The Chalk Face. https://www.youtube.com/@the-chalk-face
