Activity – think you could become a Computer Science / IT teacher? #GetIntoTeaching

Do you think you could become a Computer Science / IT teacher? Have a go at the activity below to test your skills! #GetIntoTeaching

•  Pick a topic in Computer Science/IT you think you would like to try and teach
• Agree your choice of topic with your teacher and the length of session (and with which group)

      (It may be the perfect opportunity to try this with a younger class lower down the school, or as a transition activity for Y6)

• Plan a short activity to cover the topic in a way you feel will be engaging and memorable for your peers as part of a lesson starter, main activity or plenary

Consider:

• What are you trying to achieve (teach)?  Be clear what information you intend to impart                   
• How will you make it fun? How will you make it ‘stick’? How long will this take?
• What type of activity will you plan for? (written/practical)
• How will you know others have learned it?                
• How will you make sure everyone is stretched and challenged? 
• What will the end-product be?
