Language is everything • Conditions • Leadership • Infrastructure and access • Curriculum planning • Quality assurance and improvement • Use • Pupil use • The teaching process • Administrative use • Outcomes • Impact on learning and standards
Before we begin… • What is a schoolleader? • What is a curriculum? • Who funds what? • What is ICT? • What is the mandate of the school? + Basic info about the school
Discipline is everything • Observation forms • Evidence pointers • Could do with examples • Complete programme • Including time to reflect • Flexible schools • Interview guidance • School self-questionnaire • Evaluator guidance
General impressions • Hard to do work without the funds But… lack of funding doesn’t stop schools from forming a strategy and a vision…on the contrary • Involved persons can turn schools around • Hardware is important and not yet ‘ubiquitous’ • Schools who are not yet that advanced: learn lessons. Strategy first.
Slow but positive cycle • Same mistakes can be made several times: e.g. hardware purchase without strategy • No good use without strategy and vision … vision befor hardware … BUT: ‘best’ visions informed by many mistakes • National policies DO influence what happens in schools … is it the intended outcome? … negative impact (lack of funds, vision, support) … link to national priorities (personalised learning, lll, equity, basic skills, integration)
Less digital naive • Digital literacy teachers increased … Awareness of what is needed/lacking … More confident users … More reflective • Pupils do well … but could they do better? … most happy with ICT use … advanced skills, differentiation in skills … integration ofsocial aspect of learning/social sw … some critical information consumers
A black box with a twist • Impact and outcomes a black box in most schools … what leads to results? … what is the contribution of a tool? • Learning environments ‘traditional with a twist’ … more interaction inside /outside … more self-directed/autonomous … better availability of sources
Blended resources • Mix of traditional and new • Mix of self-made and from others • ICT allows to share, but… • Integration, synergies lacking • Quality on the up • Who makes it? • Different teachers different needs
