This is a complete set of powerpoints, sample assessments, in class assignments and tasks for Unit 1 and Unit 4 of the Pearson AAQ in computing. It covers everything from basics of programming through to computational thinking, testing and through to the more advanced programming and development concepts for Unit 4. It includes programming examples, exercises, sample data, sample assignments, revision exercises and a wide range of other resources. Along with a lesson by lesson plan for how to deliver based on comprehensive experience.

This is over 40 hours worth of content and lessons that provides an ideal starting point for your T-Level Digital Software Development journey. These cover Computational Thinking and Python Programming and focus on giving a holistic picture. Also included are more than 50 Python exercises and examples. Built with five years of experience of teaching T-levels and a lot longer teaching programming and computing, this has been updated for the new T-Level DSD 2025 spec. These lessons collectively should cover all of Core 1 and 2. Each Lesson is around 1.5 hours of content- some groups may get through them quicker, some slower. Where needed intersperse the lessons with more practical implementation using examples from the accompanying Python work book or some of the retrieval practice activities. You can also use projects as and when needed- AI tools are perfect for generating these project brief or look at previous ESP tasks- these have idea examples of practicing some of the elements of testing, file handling, validation and more.

A set of teaching resources for the T-Level Digital Production Design and Development, refined and tested, includes 12 presentations, multiple projects, examples, worksheets, resource files and more. Overall this will encompass around 30-35 hours worth of lessons, building on top of a project based approach and integrating examples and linking to Pearson’s own example assessments. It also contains crib and help sheets along with examples and guides for Pandas and Matplotlib, the core languages for the ESP Task 4b and something many students struggle with. This includes a number of projects based around real data science tasks and real data. This builds on existing core knowledge- it would be useful for both self directed study, revision or as a basis to teach from scratch off. There is an expectation of a grounding in python, data and other aspects from the core exam content. Included is also an outline scheme of work explaining the general outline as well as English Maths and Digital outlines covered in each session.

This booklet contains a complete set of information, exercises and challenges associated with the Core programming content of the T-Level in Digital Production. It’s primarily focused on application with a healthy dose of theory too. Use it for independent study or to supplement and guide your lessons. Whilst it’s linked to the T-Level DPDD it’s easily applicable to all sorts of other applications from GCSE, A-Level BTEC and even HE. It includes the necessary data files and covers the following: Functions Variables Data Types Comments Operations and handling numbers Global and local variables Modulo Arrays and Lists Selection - If statements and logical operators Iteration and loops Turtle and sequences of instructions Validation and Verification in Python File Handling in Python In Built Functions Searching and sorting algorithms Recursion Creating GUI apps in Python Pandas Data Science

A set of Python and SQL resources aligned to the development aspects of the T Level Digital (DPDD) Occupational Spec as well as the NEA of A Level computing. It is intended to teach and learn the process of making a web app using Flask and Python. It starts with the basics of SQL using the SQLite language and designing and creating databases, then linking that to Python. From there it moves to introducing object oriented programming and design patterns using Python. Finally it introduces Flask and creating increasingly complex web apps. There are 13 PowerPoints each one designed to cover around 2 hours of lesson time along with accompanying exercises, project and support for around the same again. That’s almost 50 hours of lesson time ready for you to work from. Primarily built around projects and implementation there’s a mix of theory and practice as well as projects to implement them.
