Full CalendarLondon, Herts & Essex Computing Hub

This event will take place between 9:00am and 3:15pm on 25/07/2022

London, Herts & Essex Computing Hub

Develop your confidence and knowledge in assessing computing across the primary age range. Effective teaching includes the skilful use of assessment, to check children’s knowledge and understanding, and to overcome misconceptions. Accurate assessment informs adapted teaching, allowing teachers to build upon previous learning and supporting development of ideas and skills through the whole computing curriculum. This CPD aims to improve teachers’ knowledge of how to accurately assess their pupils. Through a range of in-lesson and summative assessment approaches you will confidently evaluate learning in computing, in ways that complement teaching across all subjects. You’ll find out what is different about computing, ensuring that your assessment of programming knowledge and skills is accurate. You’ll also consider how to assess computational thinking – the key capability to solve problems using computers. Schools follow a diverse set of assessment policies and practices – this CPD recognises the different school contexts and guides participants to apply techniques and tools that work with, not against, the wider school ethos.
