ICT Educator (Computer Programming, Robotics and Coding Expert)

Key Teaching and Instructional Responsibilities

• Plan and deliver structured coding and robotics lessons in line with the school’s curriculum and STEM objectives.
• Teach block-based programming using ScratchJr for early learners and Scratch (MIT) for upper primary and junior secondary learners.
• Deliver text-based programming instruction in Python, covering variables, data types, conditionals, loops, functions, and introductory data structures.
• Teach web development fundamentals, including HTML, CSS, and introductory JavaScript, as appropriate to learner level.
• Introduce learners to game development concepts, including logic flow, animation, user interaction, scoring systems, and basic game mechanics.
• Teach robotics and physical computing using Arduino and other robotics kits, including sensors, actuators, basic electronics, and embedded programming.
• Develop learners’ computational thinking skills: decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking.
• Implement project-based and inquiry-based learning, encouraging creativity, teamwork, and independent problem solving.

Curriculum Development and Planning:

• Design and maintain schemes of work and detailed lesson plans for coding and robotics across different year groups.
• Ensure a clear progression from block-based coding to text-based programming.
• Develop instructional materials, coding challenges, robotics projects, and assessment rubrics.
• Integrate real-world applications and cross-curricular links where appropriate.
• Review and update curriculum content regularly to reflect emerging technologies and best practices.

Assessment and Learner Progress Monitoring:

• Assess learners through practical coding tasks, robotics builds, projects, quizzes, and presentations.
• Maintain accurate records of learner progress, performance, and skill development.
• Provide clear, constructive feedback to support continuous improvement.
• Differentiate instruction and assessment to meet diverse learning needs and abilities.
• Identify and support learners with exceptional talent or those requiring additional guidance.

Robotics Lab and Resource Management:

• Manage and maintain coding and robotics equipment, including computers, Arduino boards, robotics kits, sensors, and peripherals.
• Ensure safe handling, usage, and storage of all electronic and robotic equipment.
• Prepare labs or classrooms for practical sessions, demonstrations, and assessments.
• Troubleshoot minor hardware and software issues related to robotics and coding tools.
• Report any damaged, faulty, or missing equipment to management promptly.

Digital Safety, Ethics, and Professional Practice:

• Promote safe, ethical, and responsible use of technology at all times.
• Teach learners basic principles of digital citizenship, data privacy, and cybersecurity awareness.
• Model professional programming practices, including clean code structure, documentation, and testing.
• Maintain a positive, inclusive, and disciplined learning environment.

Collaboration and School Engagement:

• Collaborate with ICT staff and subject teachers to integrate coding and robotics into wider learning experiences.
• Support school STEM initiatives, coding clubs, exhibitions, competitions, and technology showcases.
• Participate in staff meetings, professional development, and training sessions.
• Contribute to the development and growth of the school’s innovation and technology programs.
• Perform any other duties related to coding, robotics, or technology education as assigned by school management.
