# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities are many times more likely than their peers to have a diagnosable mental health issue, but these often go undetected and there is much uncertainty about how best to help. This course tackles the issue head on; first exploring why prevalence is high and recognition is low and the implications for this on our practice. We then go on to consider how a very simple, three question plan can form the basis of our recognition of and response to those children who are struggling. We acknowledge throughout that children with SEND are highly diverse, and you are encouraged to consider how best to apply the ideas in the course to the particular children you have in mind.

The course has been developed and delivered by Dr Pooky Knightsmith who as a PhD in child and adolescent mental health and has spent many years as a governor at a range of special schools and who has led many training events for staff and parents supporting children with SEND. This course is based on training originally commissioned by the Department for Education in Gibraltar.

Technology is everywhere, if we like it or not. And nearly all future jobs require us to understand it. To respond to this, governments are including computing in national curricula, as a subject taught at all ages but also as part of other subjects. This means the responsibility is on to us, the teachers, because we need to teach it. In the UK already every primary school teacher has to teach computing concepts and in many other countries more and more of us will be required to teach computing or at least integrate computing concepts, ideas and processes into the teacher of our subjects. So let's get ready for this.

If you are a Computer Science teacher who needs new ideas, tools or resources on how to teach your subject. If you are an Art teacher who suddenly has to talk about website design, user experience and user interfaces in your subject. If you are a Biology teacher who has to teach your students how to programme sensors taking important measurements in an experiment. This MOOC is here to help you. We will be exploring the ideas, concepts, processes and skills that are important in computing and then introduce you to the tools, resources and lesson activities that can help you teach these concepts and processes in the classroom.

The course is designed as an introductory course, for you to use as a starting point to explore some of the ideas and tools further. It is relevant to secondary teachers from all subjects and all levels of experience. A basic amount of knowledge on operating computers and other technology devices is expected but you don't need prior knowledge of computing. The course has been designed by teachers for teachers and will feature interviews, presentations, and activities from teachers, professors, students and computing professionals.

Learning objectives

Understand why it is so fundamental to focus more on computing at schools

Start developing an understanding of concepts, methods and ways of thinking that are relevant to Computing/li>

Explore some examples of effective use of visual programming tools

Reflect on how you engage girls in your classrooms and to come up with strategies to get more girls involved in computing

Design a lesson plan using tools, ideas and resources presented on the course

You can download the course content here.

Prerequisites

The course is aimed at secondary school teachers but is open to anybody interested in the topic. While some of the activities presented in the course are more relevant for Computer Science teachers, the course is aimed at teachers from any subject. Some basic understanding on how to operate computers and software is required for this course.

Modules

Module 1: Why teach computing at schools?

Module 2: What and how are we teaching? Introducing concepts and methods

Module 3: How to teach computing? Using visual programming tools

Module 4: How to teach computing? Using game design tools & involving more girls

Module 5: How to teach computing? Creating for mobile & preparing your Hour of Code

Module 6: Final Project: Running your Hour of Code

Certification

After completing the entire course, participants receive a digital course certificate and a digital course badge.

Note to teachers from Portugal: You can get your successful participation in a European Schoolnet Academy course formally recognised as a valid continuous professional development, and thereby acquire the relevant number of training hours, by sending your certificate to the Conselho Científico e Pedagógico de Formação Contínua (CCPFC) at Rua do Forno, nº 30, 1º andar - apartado 2168, 4700 - 429 Braga, Portugal.

The University of Birmingham’s Jubilee Centre is running an online character education CPD programme

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
An online character education CPD programme

The registration form for this programme is available at the bottom of this page

Two questions that teachers and senior leaders interested in character education regularly ask are 'How do you do it?' and 'What does a School of Character look like?' The Leading Character Education in Schools free online CPD programme aims to answer these questions by providing a comprehensive overview of both the theory and practice of the leadership of character education within primary and secondary school settings.

"I will be using this as an ongoing resource to continue to evaluate the effectiveness of my practice."

PSHE Lead, Primary

This CPD programme has been developed by the Jubilee Centre along with Headteachers and character leads from eight U.K. schools who have first-hand experience of implementing character education in schools. A pilot with over 90 practitioners from six countries showed that 100% of participants felt the programme had impacted positively on their practice and that they would recommend it to others.

"The overall quality is excellent, the units are focused and clearly targeted."

Assistant Headteacher, Secondary

The programme has been structured in a way that will help you get the most from your online learning experience. The virtual learning environment supports your journey and enables flexibility. We encourage you to immerse yourself in the research, activities and resources provided at your own pace.

The CPD programme is presented in six modules:
Module 1: Introduction Module 2: Character Caught Module 3: Character Taught and Sought Module 4: Character Outside of the Classroom Module 5: Staff and Leadership Module 6: School Community
Each module contains personal and staffroom activities and a self-evaluation task which have been designed to support reflection on your existing character education provision and to guide your next steps. The activities can be completed in your own time and we recommend that you complete them alongside other staff in your school.

"I really enjoyed this CPD and I am excited to spread this practice throughout my Multi Academy Trust."

Character Education and Personal Development Trust Lead

Each module includes input from schools in the form of videos, filmed on location, and through the sharing of resources which provide you with a 'window into schools'. Questions are included throughout the programme to provoke thought and discussion on your current and/or future character education provision. Further reading and resources are signposted at the end of each module for those who wish to explore the issues further.

If you would like further information on this CPD programme please contact Michael Fullard at M.Fullard@bham.ac.uk
