    Block Based Programming in KS2 & KS3

    This face-to-face course is designed for teachers working in Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 who want to strengthen their understanding of how to teach block-based programming effectively. It focuses on practical classroom methodologies and teaching strategies, rather than just learning how to use a particular tool. 

    The main programming environments explored will be Scratch, micro bit and crumble but other block-based programming languages will be referenced where they help illustrate progression, pedagogy, or common teaching challenges. 

    Participants will explore different ways of teaching block-based programming, with a strong emphasis on why particular approaches work well for certain pupils and contexts.
