I’m pleased to let you know that additional support materials for NPA Data Science<\/a> are now available.<\/p>\n

The Educator’s Guide<\/strong> provides advice and guidance to teachers who are about to, or already, offer the qualification. It contains useful information about course contents, delivery, resources and assessment.<\/p>\n\"NPA<\/a>\n

The Learner’s Guide<\/strong> is for pupils and students, and covers the contents of each of the three levels. The one guide covers all three levels but each level is clearly sign-posted within the guide.<\/p>\n\"NPA\n

The materials are stored on SQA Secure<\/a>. You can access them directly via this link<\/a> (bottom of page).<\/p>\n

There’s also a new, dedicated online community on Yammer<\/a> to provide SQA- and peer-support to educators.<\/p>\n

The on-going health emergency has highlighted the vital importance of data science in modern societies, and there is a huge demand for specialists in this field. The NPA provides a stepping-stone to a career in data science but the knowledge and skills contained within it are useful to everyone.<\/p>\n

I’d like to thank the Scottish Government<\/a> for funding these materials, ScotlandIS<\/a> for supporting them, and Data Education in Schools<\/a> (DES) for producing them. The DES team provides specialist support to teachers. Contact Kate<\/a> if you want more information.<\/p>\n

Please contact Emma<\/a> if you want to know more about this qualification or need help to access the materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
