How CAS Started
Something is wrong – but I feel powerless

How CAS started
If we get together,perhaps we can get
something done

Computing at School Simply a group of individuals, concerned about the
state of computing education in our schools Including:
− Teachers− Industry (eg. Google, Microsoft)− University academics− Members of exam board (eg. AQA)− Members of professional societies (eg. BCS)− Parents− Local educational advisers− Teacher trainers
Varied backgrounds, with common concerns

What is CAS doing?
Computing: a curriculum for schools
Influencing national policy
Directly support teachers “on the ground”

Scenario 1: Your Computing/ICT Staff need training1. Teachers should join CAS (individuals)2. Your school should join the NoE (schools)3. Teachers should then contact their Master Teacher
(contact details on CAS Online)4. Schools will be notified about CPD opportunities (or
can find them on CAS Online).5. Teachers should attend local hub meetings to find
support from other teachers6. Teachers will need time and support to attend CPD
and assimilate new skills
![Page 18: Introducing Computing At School An Overview Lee Willis Level 1 Master Teacher Computing At School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551b313355034607418b6398/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Scenario 2: Your Computing/ICT Staff are Fairly confident1. Teachers should join CAS(as before)2. Your school should join the NoE(as before)3. Offer your school as a venue to a local CAS Master Teacher to run
training. This will support your staff in increasing their confidence in supporting others.
4. The new CAS Certificate in Computer Science teaching can offer teachers recognition for their skills and knowledge in this new curriculum area.
5. Facilitate discussion at departmental level about curriculum change; allow time to disseminate CPD
6. Encourage an atmosphere where teachers can try out new resources and approaches ‘safely’
7. Apply for the Level 1 Master Teacher
![Page 19: Introducing Computing At School An Overview Lee Willis Level 1 Master Teacher Computing At School](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551b313355034607418b6398/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Scenario 3: Your Computing/ICT department have expertise
1. One of your teachers could apply to become a CAS Level 2 Master Teacher
2. Your school could apply to become a Lead School3. As a Lead School you could support other local
schools, particularly primary schools in your area. 4. You could offer CPD to other local schools, in
conjunction with Master Teachers.5. Give staff time to support non-specialist staff

Supporting teachers in other ways
Hub meetings – there are 90 CAS Hubs who hold termly meetings after school to support staff and facilitate networking
CAS Online – has a repository of 1200+ teaching resources and discussions on all topics relating to the Computing curriculum
CAS Online – join the discussion

Finally
Look out for a link I will be posting soon on the forum assessing individual needs.
Focused CPD will be created in areas of need and then offered soon.
