BECTA ICT MARK UPDATE January 2010
SRF Review 2009 – Why? Originally launched in March 2006 A review was always intended use of technology in schools has moved on new educational initiatives - eg online reporting school use has developed and improved
Review considerations • SRF too long • A lot of repetition across elements • Too wordy • Look at ICT Mark threshold levels • Some levels need to be more challenging • Some large steps between levels • The tool could be more user friendly • New educational initiatives and technologies
Implementing the review • Mapping of the current version to the revised version • Transferring schools current data/levels to the new version • Setting a time scale for use of the old and the revised • Plan to allow a period of time for schools well down the line for the Mark to still gain it using the current framework. • Aiming for end of March for ‘launch’ • Northern Ireland schools move to current SRF for England and Wales then all schools transfer to new Revised SRF
What do I need to do? • NOTHING! • Data will be transferred Jan/Feb and new passwords issued • Can still access NI SRF but changes may not be saved • Continue with self-evaluation, action planning, gathering evidence • Any queries relating to individual schools contact Becta Helpdesk: 0800 877 8777 or email selfreview@becta.org.uk
