Compute-IT 1: teacher pack

The 'Compute-IT teacher packs' are designed to support specialists and non-specialists alike, and provide:

  • Introductions to teaching the programme of study for computing using 'Compute-IT'
  • A flexible scheme of work for delivering computing at Key Stage 3
  • Comprehensive lesson plans that incorporate: 
    • an outline of the contextual knowledge required for delivery of each lesson
    • teaching notes on how to deliver each lesson including ideas on how to use the accompanying student books and digital resources
    • lists of key learning objectives and learning outcomes 
    • effective strategies for differentiation
    • references to the programme of study covered by lessons and units 
    • unparalleled guidance on how to assess students' understanding and practical work as the basis for progression and evidence of student attainment. 

Each unit in the 'Compute-IT' course provides a sound basis for the development of computational thinking skills and features activities that are designed for use in class or as homework.

This is the first teacher pack in the series, and the topics covered are developed further through practical activities and digital files provided via the accompanying student's book and dynamic learning resources.
