Developing ICT Capability: a whole-school strategic approach By Terry Freedman Chair of Naace
How can a school provide, or continue to provide, a first-class ICT curriculum for its pupils?
What I’ll cover • The current context • What ICT capability means • What to do
But first… Where I’m coming from
Action without vision is only passing time, vision without action is merely day dreaming, but vision with action can change the world - Nelson Mandela...
What is ICT capability? It is using ICT effectively and appropriately in all aspects of the school. In other words, ICT capability is inextricably linked with the notion of embedded ICT. This is what Becta means by “e-maturity”.
Embedded ICT… • Supports, ie underpins, school processes and aims (data, admin); • Helps to raise standards across the board; • Frees up people’s time to engage with learners; • Facilitates personalisation.
Health Social Services Education Other Services Child or Young Person Intro: the context • Client-centred approach • Self-evaluation
A first class ICT Curriculum • Supports, ie underpins, school processes and aims (data, admin); • Helps to raise standards across the board; • Frees up people’s time to engage with learners; • Facilitates personalisation.
What to do • Whole school strategy in which ICT is an integral part and is intricately linked with SEF process and ECM • Develop towards e-maturity, using the ICT Mark process as a driver • Appoint key people in leadership positions at all levels (identify the various roles which need to be fulfilled) • Become a learning organisation: sharing good/interesting practice; cpd; sharing (created) resources; teacher research • Don’t go it alone: join Naace as an institutional member; develop partnerships; use LA staff and facilities where applicable and available; ditto external consultants; attend Naace cpd events • Be innovative
