HEADS UP

Computing At School

The aim of Computing At School (CAS) is to promote and develop the teaching of computing in schools by supporting teachers. One way to achieve this is to provide teachers with a local forum (CAS Community) to share ideas and mutual interests. These CAS Communities form the foundation of much of the work of CAS. CAS Community meetings are for teachers, run by teachers.

They seek to provide the opportunity:

  • for teachers to meet in a relaxed and informal atmosphere with refreshments
  • to share ideas and resources
  • to receive informal training
  • to gain mutual support from discussing teaching methods with colleagues.
  • Community Leaders organise and facilitate regular community meet ups, usually one per term.

Community Leaders are amazing! They have huge knowledge, expertise, and passion for computing education. They are on hand to support you to connect with others, to share your knowledge, expertise and passion – and to discover new things about teaching computing.

If you would be interested in becoming a CAS Community Leader, please contact Karen Dadd (karen.dadd@lawrencesheriffschool.com) or Tim Wilson (tim.wilson@bcs.uk)
