Teacher CLPL<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Computing Science<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some, teaching Computing Science is extremely daunting. We as a team, have tried to remove the barriers for staff in many ways. One way is to offer training with a focus on the Computing Science Progression Pathways and Exemplified Learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have led teacher training on accessing, planning with and implementing the Computing Science pathways. I was able to pass on my understanding of computational thinking skills and how it fits into the already busy curriculum. I gave examples of using computational thinking skills across the curriculum and promoted unplugged lessons for schools who lack devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have also created Quick Guides that support the Exemplified Learning, giving teachers (and pupils) short videos that explain the concepts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here are a couple of short examples of my quick guides:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
