1. Assessment Workshop - Programming Steepana, Job, Grant

2. Programming. Chose a subset from the programming topics in the New OCR GCSE Spec. Including : the use of variables, constants, operators, inputs, outputs and assignments the use of the three basic programming constructs used to control the flow of a program the use of basic string manipulation the use of basic file handling operations the use of records to store data the use of SQL to search for data the use of arrays (or equivalent) when solving problems, including both one and two dimensional arrays how to use sub programs (functions and procedures) to produce structured code the use of data types: the common arithmetic operators the common Boolean operators

3. Assessment. - relevant to all programming topics. Baseline Assessment: 1-Use of Questionnaire for the baseline assessment. 2-Also ask pupils to log into their PC, open scratch and attempt to do something on their own, followed by targeted observations + questioning as they venture through it. Formative Assessment during the lesson progress: Assessment for Learning: -Questioning, -feedback, -discussions, -peer marking, -peer work/programming, -Unplugged activities Summative Assessment: -Classroom tasks -e.g. Asking pupils to design a program using scratch which read a number imputed by the user, add a defined constant plus 10 and returns the result to the user. -Exam style questions -More exercises -Exam style papers - Tim Oates (Cambridge Assessment) suggests using GCSE exam questions even for younger ages so long as it is well focused on the concepts being learned

4. Resources Python Quiz http://www.mypythonquiz.com/list.php Not great as doesn’t keep score but these questions can be moved into Kahoot or similar to give assessment data for each pupils.
