E N D
Wolf report • 28 recommendations • Courses that do not provision for progression but that are used to boost league table to have their ‘GCSEness’ reduced by 75% (or not counted to table) • OCR National Level 2 First National Award - Most popular ‘vocational’ qualification at KS4 (page 145 Wolf Report, Appendix 1)
Question • Is the OCR National in ICT progressive? • Is it conducive to good teaching and learning?
Government Priorities Academic Qualifications – GCSEs Vocational Training not Vocational examinations English Bacc 16-24 NEETS – Work Experience – NVQs, BTECs Cut in money to Sixth Forms
School Priorities • Has your school adjusted the post 14 options? • Where does that leave ICT departments?
Opportunity • What do the learners want? • What do we want? • Do they work together? • Core 80% - What about the other 20%
Teaching and Learning • What would be the very best: • Student • Use of technology • Employer engagement in curriculum
Teaching and Learning • What is the WOW factor for the courses that we are currently teaching? • What has been really successful in promoting good teaching and learning in the courses taught this year?
Innovation in Teaching • Is there a place for Facebook/Twitter in schools as learning tools? • What impact would they have on: • Student engagement? • Classroom?
