Two lessons that establish three things: an honest map of where you are starting from (the confidence audit); a working understanding of what the LCA ICT pathway requires of students across two years (and therefore of you); and a productive mindset for delivering ICT in an LCA classroom, where the cohort, the assessment regime, and the ethos all differ meaningfully from the standard Leaving Cert.
| Welcome, Confidence Audit and the Lead Learner Mindset for the LCA Classroom | ||
| Mapping the LCA ICT Pathway |
Three lessons that build the LCA-specific pedagogical layer: who LCA students actually are and what engages them; how the Something Real project becomes the year-long spine that carries every Key Assignment; and how to honour the SEC descriptors while modernising the framing from 1998-style office skills to 2026-style creator skills.
| Who LCA Students Are, Engaging At-risk and Disengaged Learners | ||
| The Something Real Project as the Spine of LCA ICT | ||
| Reframing LCA ICT Outcomes as Creator Skills |
Three lessons covering the two mandatory Intro modules (ICT1, ICT2, taken in sequence per SEC) and the 5 Key Assignments that determine credit. The first two lessons handle each SEC module in depth; the third zooms out to Key Assignment design and supervision across the Intro arc.
| Teaching ICT1, Computer Basics and Word Processing as Creator Skills | ||
| Teaching ICT2, Spreadsheets and the Graphical Presentation of Data | ||
| Designing and Supervising the 5 Intro Key Assignments |
Four lessons, one per SEC Specialism module. Each lesson covers the SEC descriptor, the 2 Key Assignments inside that module, the creator-skills framing, the relevant AI tools, and how the module's work continues the student's Something Real project from Intro.
| Specialism Module 1, Word Processing as a Creator Skill | ||
| Specialism Module 2, Presentation of Ideas | ||
| Specialism Module 3, Spreadsheets as Decision and Analytics Tools | ||
| Specialism Module 4: Internet, Digital Literacy and AI Literacy |
Three lessons that close the course. Lesson 5.1.1 covers SEC portfolio assessment: KA marking, packaging, submission, and common rejection reasons. Lesson 5.1.2 synthesises the full Intro to Specialism arc into a two-year year-plan. Lesson 5.1.3 covers recruitment, progression pathways, and the closing reflection.

| Your Two-year LCA ICT Year-plan and Cross-lca Integration | ||
| Recruitment, Progression Pathways and Final Reflection |
