The Teaching, Learning and Assessment dimension of the CQF focused on the subject knowledge and classroom practice of computing teachers. It exemplifies high-quality lesson planning, and considers the progress made by learners over time. 

This CPD is aimed at those who are actively leading these efforts through subject and cluster leadership, whether in primary or secondary schools. 

The session will support a stragegic approach to CPD for the computing team. It will also help leads to plan in-school and cross-cluster interventions and collaborations that support progress towards the Computing Quality Mark, taking account of the different contexts for primary and secondary computing. 

As well as guidance and sharing of 'what works elsewhere', the session will include a Q 'n' A workshop facilitated by an experienced cluster advisor. Advice and guidance, of benefit to all participants, will be discussed alongside supportive ideas and reflections from other participants.
