Effective pedagogy is at the heart of good teaching and learning; successful teachers combine their knowledge of computing science\u00a0with evidence-based teaching practices.\u00a0Evidence\u00a0of effective\u00a0computing science\u00a0teaching approaches continues to emerge and evolve\u00a0and this learning pathway will support your journey to embed computing science across the curriculum.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This learning pathway will help improve your knowledge and develop inclusive lessons to teach computing to primary school pupils.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You will learn about the importance of computing in primary education and then analyse the curriculum\u00a0experiences and outcomes.
