Online courses
Teach computing: Pedagogy in practice – Semantic waves
What are semantic waves, and how can they help you to teach computing? Discover this pedagogical principle used by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, the research that backs it up, and how you can use it in your teaching context.
Curriculum Resources
Resources designed to support teachers in delivering the Experience CS curriculum effectively.
Our pedagogy practices for cross-curricular education
Learn about the educational principles and research that underpin Experience CS, with our short and accessible Pedagogy Quick Reads.
PRIMM
To support effective learning our cross-curricular resources incorporate the PRIMM approach (Predict, Run, Investigate, Modify, Make), guiding students through a structured process to develop their programming skills. This method supports deeper understanding by encouraging learners to explore, adapt, and create with confidence.
Semantic Waves
Our cross-curricular resources are designed to follow the concept of semantic waves, helping students move between abstract ideas and concrete examples. This approach deepens understanding by encouraging learners to connect theory with practice, making complex concepts more accessible and meaningful.
Universal design for learning
Our cross-curricular resources are designed with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles in mind, ensuring that all students can access and engage with the content. By offering multiple ways to represent information, express understanding, and stay engaged, we create inclusive learning experiences that meet the diverse needs of every learner.
Professional development courses
Our professional development courses offer flexible, self-paced learning to help you confidently teach block-based programming with effective, inclusive computing pedagogy.
