Volunteers will support a secondary school in Hartlepool to join Computing lessons with KS3 and KS4 pupils to support student learing. The TEALS project aims to increase the uptake of GCSE Computer Science

What You'll Do: 

Assist a teacher in the classroom and support the learning of students.  Some volunteers can also, over time, support groups of students and even lead parts of lessons if they wish.  They will help students to see the real world use of technology and have an insight into the applications and implications of computing.  Volunteers will support, mentor and coach students individually and in small groups to help them develop their skills and knowledge.

Why You'll Love It: 
Seeing the same group of children over a number of weeks enables you to build relationships, understand their strengths and weaknesses.  Through volunteers like yourself, you can help children, especally girls, see the real world applications of Computer Science and be a role model for future digital leaders.
What You'll Learn: 
You'll learn about the Computing curriculum, pedagogy for learning and how young people can be inpsired through your knowledge and skills.
What We're Looking For: 
We're looking for volunteers that are comfortable with basic programming and algortihm design.  We are aware that volunteers will have specialist areas such as programming, databases, data science, cyber security etc.  and these contexts can be hugely beneficial for students to have the 'hook' needed to build their self-confidence and self-efficacy.
