In order to meet these aims we will…

Use a variety of approaches to learning: 

• Use differentiation strategies to cater to the diverse learning needs of our students. 

• Use word games to consolidate and reinforce learning of key vocabulary

• Use interactive simulations and case studies to teach theoretical concepts e.g. IT systems, data processing, and cybersecurity 

• Provide regular formative assessments, including peer reviews and self-assessments, to build reflective and critical thinking skills.

• Integrate digital citizenship lessons to ensure safe, responsible, and ethical use of technology.

 

Use inquiry-based learning (Focus, Explore, Investigate, Reflect, Share (IB only)):

• Use a combination of inquiry approaches to deliver the inquiry process e.g. Directed (teacher led), Guided (shared) and Open (Student led)

• Develop the skills needed in research including research methods and an analysis of claims and perspectives.

• Use critical and creative thinking to investigate the impacts and implications for people and communities

• Use critical thinking to investigate global challenges and make recommendations of interventions using the evaluation framework.

• Develop students’ skills in presenting an inquiry through multiple modes and media such as essays, videos and multimedia presentations

​

Use project-based learning (Engage students in real-world projects, and promote hands-on learning)

• Use project-based learning to allow students to design, develop, and test digital solutions that address real-world challenges.

• Offer opportunities for cross-curricular projects, linking computing to subjects e.g. English, Science, Maths, and the Humanities.

 

Use technology in Learning (We incorporate a variety of educational technologies to make learning more interactive and engaging)

• Incorporate a variety of tools and platforms (e.g., Python, Scratch, HTML) to teach programming and computational thinking.

• Provide students with hands-on experiences through coding, robotics, and real-world problem-solving projects.

 

Go beyond the curriculum (e.g. ECAs, Trips, Workshops): 

• Offer various clubs and activities, such as robotics clubs and coding workshops, to further enhance students’ learning.

• Host guest speakers, workshops, and industry visits to expose students to real-world applications of technology.

• Encourage student-led initiatives, such as coding clubs or tech-focused community projects, to foster leadership and innovation.
