Design well-structured Computer Science lessons using proven pedagogical models such as PRIMM, dual coding, and cognitive load reduction. Teach programming effectively using scaffolding, modelling, and strategies that support mixed-ability learners. Manage behaviour and establish routines that work specifically in computer rooms and during practical lessons. Assess pupils' progress in both declarative and procedural knowledge, using diagnostic questions, code-reading tasks, and low-stakes assessment. Plan and sequence a full Computing curriculum, ensuring clear progression from KS3 to KS4 and avoiding common curriculum pitfalls. Requirements No specialist Computer Science knowledge is required. This course is suitable for complete beginners, trainee teachers, or teachers moving into the subject. You will need a computer to view examples and downloadable resources. Description Teaching Computer Science can feel overwhelming - especially if you're new to the subject, transitioning from IT or another discipline, or expected to teach Computing without specialist training.Computer Science is abstract, practical, and skill-based all at once. Teachers are often asked to deliver programming, theory, and digital literacy to mixed-ability classes, manage behaviour in computer rooms, and keep up with a rapidly changing subject - often with limited guidance on how to do this effectively.This course is designed to support you through that challenge.Rather than focusing on specific programming languages or exam techniques, this course focuses on the foundations of teaching Computer Science well. You'll explore how the Computing curriculum is structured, how students learn Computer Science, and why learners often struggle - not because they lack ability, but because of the cognitive demands of the subject.Throughout the course, you'll build a clear understanding of how KS3 prepares students for KS4, how progression should work across year groups, and how to approach Computer Science teaching in a way that builds confidence rather than anxiety. The emphasis is on clarity, structure, and professional judgement, rather than rigid rules or one-size-fits-all solutions.This course is particularly suited to:Trainee teachers (PGCE, SCITT, ECTs)Non-specialist teachers teaching ComputingTeachers transitioning from IT or ICT into Computer ScienceEarly career teachers looking to build confidenceInternational teachers seeking a UK-aligned understanding of Computing education Who this course is for Trainee teachers (PGCE, SCITT, ECTs) preparing to teach Computing or Computer Science Non-specialist teachers who are going to teach Computing classes Early Career Teachers who want to build confidence teaching CS International teachers wanting a UK-aligned understanding of the Computing curriculum Teaching assistants or support staff who want insight into how CS is taught Quote:https://rapidgator.net/file/f8bebfdfe8e5c45dca159df4fbb4bab6/A_Complete_Guide_To_Teaching_Computer_Science.part1.rar.html |
