What is this course about?

Networks! But more importantly the pedagogy for teaching about networks to your pupils.

Tailored to you: The course will be tailored to your key stage & your current knowledge of the topic area.

Research-led:  Underlying content knowledge, resources, pedagogical approaches with a focus on objective setting, incorporating progression, embedding assessment and differentiation.

Do it in class as part of a community: You will be asked to undertake a classroom, afterschool, or CPD case study/project on networks. You will be supported during this period. We will encourage attendees to work in pairs/groups to deliver, adapt materials, team teach etc.

Career information and Industry links: As well as integrating career information in the course, we are finding industry contacts. These contacts might facilitate a class to visit their business, give a careers talk at your school or team teach a particular lesson or lesson part.

General pedagogy skills: This training is not just for networks, by undertaking this course you will gain pedagogy knowledge and skills which are transferable to other topics.

Binary Boxes: We will be using Binary Boxes to teach the basic concepts of networks. Class sets will be available for schools to loan as part of their projects.

Online material: We will be using free online networking resources. These will be available for you to use.
