KS3 Teach computing scheme of work
Updated over a week ago
Below we have outlined each of the topics in the scheme of work and given some detail about exactly what topics are in the scheme.
Baselines should be given prior to teaching the topic unit, Progress quizzes after you teach the topic. Both quizzes are embedded in the scheme of work.
