How Teachers Can Earn Open Badges from Naace for Computing Curriculum CPD. Training Presentation to help introduce the idea of Open Badges and CPD within the new Computing Curriculum

2. What are the Naace Computing CPD Badges?
● A suite of badges which help teachers to explore the three core strands of the new
Computing Curriculum
● Each strand is broken down into the individual elements and are structured over 3
levels
● Level 1 - Understanding of the PoS. This allows you to identify your strengths and
areas you wish to develop your knowledge of further
● Level 2 - Knowledge of the PoS. These badges offer you opportunities to broaden
your understanding of the Computing Curriculum
● Level 3 - Application of the PoS. This level of badges ask you to take the knowledge
you acquired within Level 2, and apply this to your teaching of Young People
The Badges themselves are endorsed by Naace and have been supported as part of the
Computing Matched Fund from the Department of Education
The evidence in which you submit will be approved and accredited by Naace and can form
part of your schools portfolio towards achieving the ICT Mark.
