If you're looking to teach GCSE Computing, the best way to go about it is to learn from someone who's already doing it successfully. Cue Alan O'Donohoe (@teknoteacher on Twitter), Principal Teacher of ICT and Computing at Our Lady's Catholic High School Preston, an Ofsted-rated Outstanding school.
Alan moved his department from Powerpoint to Python several years ago, and was actively engaging pupils in computational thinking even before such thinking occurred to Michael Gove. Feedback from the many Computing events Alan has led both within and outside of his school pay testament to his enthusiasm, commitment and dedication. Indeed, Alan's courses are usually fully booked months ahead, so if you're interested, seize the moment! For teachers completely new to Computing, Alan is offering a one-day basic programming introduction in his Teach GCSE Computing Day 1 workshop. (Dates and details are in the flyer) If you have some experience, you can develop your effectiveness in Teach GCSE Computing Day 2: Achieving Success. (Again, dates and more information can be found in the flyer) While you don't have to attend both days, it's worth ensuring you have the skills from Day 1 if you only wish to attend day 2. And if you'd like to book either or both - and hurry! - then please get in touch with Paula or Gill via our contact page
