Audit and action plan
"I need to not only improve my own computing skills, but develop strategies and ideas to be able to confidently teach the new national curriculum for computing."
From my computing audit below I have identified several areas that I need to improve and develop in order to teach the National Curriculum for computing effectively. While focusing on my weaker skills I will also work to enhance my overall ability .
Having also referred to the Computing programme of study, I have currently given myself a grade C which equates to having an adequate level of confidence but wish to strengthen my skills. By the end of the course I hope to be competent and confident and be a strong B grade.
I need to not only improve my own skills but develop strategies and ideas to teach the new National Curriculum to children.

I need to not only improve my own skills but develop strategies and ideas to teach the new National Curriculum to children.
- Coding and programming is a key aspect of the new curriculum which I need to explore further in terms of both subject knowledge and pedagogy.
- Animation software is something I have had no experience with and area in which I would like to develop my skills.
- Using video and audio software is also an aspect of computing I would like to become more confident with, in order to teach and model their use effectively.
- I would like to not only learn how to use certain software, but also how these programs can be utilised and taught creatively and effectively in line with the new curriculum.
- I would also like to find ways to enhance other areas of the curriculum through the use of computing. E.g. apps and interactive teaching resources.
- Ways in which to help children become aware of e-safety and what they can do to stay safe.
