Lessons in Teaching Computing in Primary Schools

Trainee teachers need to know what effective teaching of computing in primary schools looks like. As few primary school teachers currently have the skills and training to teach computing, where can trainees find quality exemplars to learn from? This book provides them.  Written by ITT tutors, it takes exemplar lessons and offers them alongside a detailed exploration of what makes them good, and the theory behind them.  The text encourages trainees to consider the teaching of computing critically and to envisage how they can use resources effectively and shape lessons for their own teaching.  As the computing curriculum is introduced in primary schools across England, this text provides much needed guidance on the theory and practice of teaching this new curriculum.  In starting with teaching then exploring theory, the text mirrors how many trainees will learn.
