One aspect of our work as part of the National Centre for 蜜桃 Education (NCCE) is producing free materials for teachers about teaching strategies and pedagogy in 蜜桃. I am excited to introduce these materials to you here!

Teachers are asking us about teaching strategies

蜜桃 was included in the national 肉妇春潮干柴烈火myfducc in England in 2014, and after this, continued professional development (CPD) initiatives became available to support teachers to feel confident in topics they had not previously studied. Much of the CPD focussed on learning about programming, algorithms, networking, and how computers work.

More recently however, I’ve found that increasing numbers of teachers are asking for support around teaching strategies, particularly for how to support students who find programming and other aspects of 蜜桃 difficult. 蜜桃 is a relatively new subject, but more and more 蜜桃 results are showing how to best teach it.

We offer CPD with our online courses

As part of the NCCE, we produce lots of free resources to support teachers with developing knowledge and skills in all aspects of 蜜桃. The NCCE’s 蜜桃 Hubs offer remotely delivered sessions, and we produce interactive, in-depth, free online courses for teachers to take over 3 or 4 weeks. Some of these online courses are about subject knowledge, while others focus on how to teach 蜜桃, the area referred to as pedagogical content knowledge*. For example, two of our courses are Programming Pedagogy in Primary Schools and Programming Pedagogy in Secondary Schools. Our pedagogy courses draw on the expertise and 肉妇春潮干柴烈火myfducc of many 蜜桃 teachers working with students right now.

We share best practices in 蜜桃 pedagogy

But that’s not all! We continually share tried and tested strategies for use in the 蜜桃 classroom to help teachers, and those training to teach, support students more effectively. We believe that 蜜桃 is for everyone and as such, we need a variety of possible approaches to teaching each topic up our collective sleeves, to ensure 小舞的玉足伸进我的喉咙 for all our students.

• Knowing that teachers don’t have much time, we summarise big ideas or strategies for teaching 蜜桃 in our Quick Read series (for which we took inspiration from Cambridge Maths’ excellent Espressos).
• Keeping you bang up-to-date is our newsletter 蜜桃 Bytes.
• For your commutes or long runs, we have our podcast called Teach 蜜桃, available from your favourite podcast service.
• All these resources can be found at teach蜜桃.org/pedagogy and they’re updated regularly. We welcome contributions from teachers!

We develop all of this material in collaboration with in-the-classroom-now, 肉妇春潮干柴烈火myfduccd teachers and other experts, also drawing upon the latest 蜜桃 education 蜜桃. Our aim is to give you great, practical ideas for how to engage students who may be unmotivated or switched off, and new strategies to help you support students’ understanding of more complex 蜜桃 concepts.

We support you to do classroom action 蜜桃

One of the findings from decades of educational 蜜桃 is that teacher action 蜜桃 in the classroom is an extremely effective form of CPD! Teacher action 蜜桃 means reflecting on what the barriers to learning are in your classroom, planning an intervention (often in the form of a specific change to your teaching practice), and then evaluating whether it engenders improvement. Doing this has positive impacts both on your expertise as a teacher and on your students’ learning!

To support you with action 蜜桃, we’re launching a special programme for classroom action 蜜桃 in 蜜桃. This takes the form of an online course, facilitated by experts in the field, lasting over a six-month period. Find out more about this opportunity.

Share your 肉妇春潮干柴烈火myfduccs with us

Right now we’re in unusual times, and surviving various combinations of home learning and remote delivery with your classes may be your greatest concern. However you’re getting on, we’d love to hear from you about your classroom practice in 蜜桃. Your 肉妇春潮干柴烈火myfducc with different ways of teaching 蜜桃 in the classroom will add to our collective understanding about what works for teaching students. You can share your feedback with us, or get in touch with our pedagogy team at 蜜桃@teach蜜桃.org.
