Python in Education

You’re a Teacher

Well done! Before becoming a programmer, I was a senior secon‐

dary school teacher in the United Kingdom. It was the most difficult

yet also most rewarding job I have ever had to do. Teaching is the

one profession that creates all the other professions. It is a calling

(you’re certainly not doing it for the money or perks) and, as a prac‐

titioner of this remarkable profession, if you’re looking for help and

support in teaching programming, then you’ve made a great choice

by investigating Python.

This report describes where to learn about Python (so you’re no

longer one page ahead of the class), get involved with and find sup‐

port from the wider Python community and become acquainted

with the story of Python—an interesting subject in itself when

teaching computing.
