  1. UK CDA and Cisco Networking Academy Nuno Guarda Head of Corporate Affairs UK&I November 2016 nguarda@cisco.com Innovate like a Technologist. Think like an Entrepreneur. Act as a Social Agent.

  2. ”…ensure that all pupils can understand and apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science…” Statutory guidance, National curriculum in England: computing programmes of study

  3. New Computing Curriculum • New Computing Curriculum launched in September 2014 • ICT is no longer taught as it used to be: no more focus on applications (word processor, spreadsheet, etc)

  4. New Computing Curriculum Key Stage 2 Key Stage 4 Key Stage 1 Key Stage 3 KS1 Ages: 5, 6, 7 KS2 Ages: 8, 9, 10 KS3 Ages: 11, 12, 13 KS4 Ages: 14, 15, 16

  5. New Computing Curriculum • All students will have to study this new curriculum • DfE selected Computing at School (CAS) to drive the national efforts to (re)train teachers

  6. Opportunity • Many teachers don’t have any formal Academic training in Computing • NetAcad expertise in Instructor training is relevant to help teachers become more confident and knowledgeable in Computing

  7. Opportunity • NetSpace, NetAcad’s platform, is being used to host the course and help training teachers • NetAcad is developing a pilot involving up to 1,000 teachers and 30,000 students

  8. Solution: Community Developed Course • Course developed by Education leaders • Includes newly developed content alongside publicly available one • Available for free to all Cisco Academies (pilot)

  9. Community Developed Course • CAS Master Teachers and other teachers have been using the course • Packer Tracer used in practical exercises and considered very useful • Embedded assessments

  10. Advantages to Schools • Materials to help teach the National Computing curriculum • Packer Tracer software freely available to teachers and students • Additional free NetAcad courses for CPD

  11. Computing Progression Pathways • The first version of the course covers the Communication & Networking strand • Additional content is expected within 6-8 months

  12. How to join? • To join NetAcad for free, just visit https://www.netacad.com/get-started/educators/, scroll down and click on “Become an Academy” • Fill in the online form, and add to the note section “CAS”

  13. Go To Market

  14. Go To Market • CAS created 10 National Hubs that became Centers of Excellence (CoE) • Each CoE trains 30 CAS Master Teachers (CMT) • Each CMT trains 30 Teachers

  15. Go To Market • Within the current pilot, we’re targeting 1,000 teachers • Most will be affiliated to one CoE

  16. Go To Market • CAS and its CoE are aware of the course • Course explaining during training sessions and events

  17. Next Steps

  18. Next Steps • Improve and evolve the current version • Make Computing for Schools 2.0 more engaging and exiting • How?

  19. Computing Progression Pathways

  20. Next Steps • UK CDA budget to fund the development of the Computing for Schools course • Two NetAcad Partners involved directly in the development

  21. Roadmap Evolve the current version of the course Expand it to one or two additional strands Train teacher in the new version Expand the creation of new CAs Q3FY17 Q1FY18 Train Evolve Adopt Develop Q2FY17 Q4FY17 Develop the course Validate development with key CAS Master Teachers Promote adoption of the course Students should start using the new version of the course

  22. Additional Considerations • Growth may become an issue (students) • Alternative platform being considered • Teachers to use NetSpace; Students to use a 3rd party platform
