Hi All,

The Department of Computing at ATU Donegal ran a very successful Delivering ALTs module as part of their HDip in Science in Computing for Educators programme last year. The module aims to help teachers deliver ALTs and is structured in a way to tailor them around the current years project. This year for example we run ALTs 3 & 4 first, followed by 1 & 2, with ALT 4 running on Saturday the 9th December, in time for the release of the project brief. The module is very well received and only costs €200. You can choose to complete only 1 module or 6 modules (* €200 = €1200.00) to achieve the HDip qualification.

 

See attached for more details, registration for this module closes on the 13th of November 2023.

Hi Gary,

Does completing the 6 modules allow a teacher to register with the Teaching Council as a computer science teacher? I am registered myself but I would like to encourage other staff members in my school to upskill.

Many thanks, 

Ollie Delaney

Hi Ollie,

We have had many teachers to date, who have completed 60 credits on the programme (6 modules) and have gone on to register with the TC to teach LCCS.

Hi Gary, 

Thank you for that information. I will circulate it to colleagues. 

Have a great weekend.

This looks amazing. Have looked at the brochure 

It’s a bit of a drive for me. Would there be anything similar elsewhere? Or online? 

Thanks 
Alice

Hi Alice,

Thanks for the lovely complement, we do think it’s very good, and teachers who complete it are also typically fully of praise.
All of the modules are online, apart from one of the Saturdays for Robotics in the primary classroom, which needs that hands-on interaction with the robots.

Have a nice weekend.

Gary

Hi Gary 

Thanks! I’ll reread the brochure fully awake. 

What level of experience would you require? 

Kind regards 
Alice

Hi Gary.
Would you be able to tell me for the time of the Saturday sessions? Also, if a session was missed. Is it recorded for watching back at a later time?

Thanks,
Ursula.

Hi Ursula,

The Saturday sessions normally begin at 10am. Your lecturer should be in contact with you shortly to give exact details on these.
You need to attend the Saturday sessions as they are very interactive and cover a lot of the material for assessment.

Hi Gary, 


I was wondering about your H Dip in CS. I have the certificate in coding and computational thinking completed in Thurles. Would these modules be transferable? 

If you had any other information I’d appreciate it. 

Kind Regards, 

Alice.
