21st Century Learning “Technology is an essential and inescapable part of 21st Century living and learning. All aspects of school life are enhanced and enabled with technology.” “Learning, Teaching and Managing with ICT” Funding Guidance for Schools and Local Authorities 2006- 2007
Achieving change – A key turning point….. Moving Towards e-Learning in Schools and FE Colleges - Dec 2004 • The measure of embedded technology used to be the pupil to computer ratio.This report used a broader set of indicators to measure how “e-enabled” schools were. • How is ICT currently embedded in teaching and learning? – Learning and teaching • Does your institution have an ICT strategy? – Leadership and management • Does your institution provide in-house training? – Professional development • Does your institution provide technical support? - Resources • Access: computer to pupil ratio • Willingness to embed ICT in the future – Leadership and management (Vision)
What impact have initiatives had? In the most outstanding examples, ICT is starting to have a pervasive impact on the way teachers teach and children learn. As yet the government’s aim for ICT to become embedded in the work of schools is a reality in only a small minority of schools. The gap between the best and the worst is unacceptably wide and increasing.
Concentrating on outcomes for learners • Greater choice and opportunity for learning • Learners to be better motivated, involved and engaged in their learning • To help every child, young person and adult learner to have even greater success and achievement • Learning to be more exciting, relevant and fun • And we want learning online to be safe and secure • “…take the discussion out of the technology world and place it firmly in the world of learners and learning”
Self-review - people planning improvement • Review practice not only technology • Focus on evaluating whole school improvement not auditing technology implementation • Review your actions and progress as well as practice • Use the review to establish a consensus involving: • All staff • Pupils' views and insights • Other stakeholders
Self-review benefits and outcomes • Where are you in your whole school improvement and ICT development? • How does your school compare with others? • What are your schools aspirations? • What does good look like in your school? • How will your school progress further? • What actions will your school leaders prioritise? • Where might your school need support?
Starting points for self-review • Raising achievement • Procurement • Total cost of ownership • Computers for Pupils • Learning Platforms • E-safety • Engaging parents • Truancy • Workforce development • Curriculum development • Every Child Matters • Personalising learning • Behaviour • Recruitment Can progress and improvement be made in any of these areas without a review of how technology is being used and harnessed?
Introduction to the SRF • The Self-review Framework is an online tool which enables schools to assess and benchmark their use of ICT across all their activities. It enables schools to identify where they are, and shows the practical steps they can take to improve their ICT use to benefit the organisation. In many areas, it complements the work schools currently undertake for Ofsted’s Self Evaluation Framework. • The Self-review Framework comprises eight elements; these elements cover the whole development of ICT across the school and enables the organisation to assess itself against the eight elements.

The SRF – a whole school process The Self-review Framework is designed to asses the effective use of ICT throughout the whole school and therefore has to be a whole school process driven by the SMT. It may be beneficial to define a Primary ICT team for your school including the following roles: SMT Technical support Governors ICT subject leaders ICT strategic leader
