Collaboration in KS3 programming
Mon, 16/10/2023, 09:00 - 16:00
Key stage 3 presents the ideal opportunity to embed collaborative working practices in the classroom. Using a range of tried-and-tested teaching approaches this CPD aims to improve student engagement, nurturing a passion for the subject which may influence option choices, and continue through subsequent study and into future careers. You’ll build on your existing knowledge of programming in steps, allowing time to understand what these approaches look like in your own school.

Python programming constructs: sequencing, selection & iteration for Pearson specification
Tues, 05/12/2023, 09:00 -16:00
You’ll learn how to write code to input, process and output data, and how to manipulate data stored in variables. Using the building blocks of sequence, selection and iteration you’ll begin to understand how programs are constructed to perform a multitude of simple and more complex tasks.

Solving computational problems in KS3 computing
Wed, 31/01/2024, 09:00-15:00
For teachers this approach presents challenges that are related, and which can be considered as a whole. This CPD takes a beginning-to-end view, modelling effective practice that is then rehearsed and practiced - from finding suitable problems that are engaging; through supporting students to understand and tackle the problem; to coding and evaluating a solution.
