Teacher open evening - Thursday 21 January 2016, 4:15 - 5:30pm
If you are bringing (or thinking of bringing) a class to the Education Centre then why not come along to an open evening and find out more?
You will receive an overview of the workshops and facilities we provide and gain the hands on experience of creating your own front page.
The evening runs from 4:15pm until 5:30pm. Refreshments will be served on arrival.
The session is free of charge but places are limited, and advance booking is essential.
If you are interested in attending the open evening please email educationcentre@guardian.co.uk or phone 020 3353 3306/7.
Conferences and seminars
This one day conference for secondary computer science teachers, run by Guardian Education Centre and Teacher Network, will look at the impact of the computing science curriculum, share good classroom practice and resources, and examine successful strategies to increase the uptake of the subject by girls at GCSE and beyond.
There will be opportunities to meet members of the digital development team, discuss the relationship between journalism and coding and explore the growing range of careers. The day will also look at future trends and skills required in the tech industry.
In the afternoon you will take part in a hands-on journalism and coding workshop in the Education Centre where you will code your own interactive news quiz using that day's stories.
Peter Kemp, secondary lead for computer science PGCE at Roehampton University, will discuss successful strategies to promote engagement and raise achievement in computer science. There will be sessions led by schools on good practice in the subject along with networking opportunities.

We will also be running a Reading for pleasure conference for primary school teachers and librarians on 17 March 2016.
