Secondary Termly Computing Teachers’ Network Meetings

The HLP is continuing its  innovative programme of collaborative working among computing teachers in secondary schools. These networks provide an opportunity for sharing updates, discussion, and training in relation to current developments in effective teaching and learning in computing. Meetings will support teachers in secondary schools to fulfil their role with greater confidence and satisfaction. The agenda focus will be steered by the group.

In the autumn term, we will be moderating component 3 of the OCR ‘A’ Level Computer Science. A representative from OCR will be joining us and we are waiting to hear on their availability.

Joining this network is a wonderful way to get to know other teachers in Hillingdon and share ideas. It also gives participants the chance to request input on particular areas of interest or educational developments, which can be provided by inviting expert speakers to present at a subsequent meeting.

The sessions will initially be facilitated by Michael Larkin. Michael has experience in all phases of education and has worked extensively with secondary schools on aspects of school improvement, such as developing leadership at all levels and safeguarding.

The key objectives of this PLN are:

  • To enable teachers to have a good understanding of key aspects of their role and how to work with partner agencies to ensure a rigorous approach to computing is offered to students
  • To explore and provide information and thinking around current issues and challenges, reflecting on the implications for school teachers and leaders
  • To provide models of effective and innovative practice in teaching computing in a school context
  • To provide updates on National Policy Development affecting schools
  • To develop a network of support across the partnership for computing teachers
