Computing is one of the fastest-developing subjects in the curriculum, and computing teachers will always be updating their subject knowledge and pedagogical approaches. Each chapter explores a specific aspect of inclusion and potential barriers faced by students and is designed to challenge teachers to think about their own practice and curriculum design. Themes include the influence of classroom environments, bias in the use of data, collaborative learning, building cultural capital, and racism within AI applications. The book is also laced with practical ideas to develop teaching shared by a wealth of experienced practitioners, researchers and industry professionals. 

Written with consideration for the National Curriculum for Computing, this valuable text will give trainee teachers, recently qualified teachers, and experienced teachers the confidence and knowledge they need to successfully deliver an inclusive computing curriculum in the classroom.
