  2. http://matrix.becta.org.uk • Launched March 2006 • Brings together • Previous Becta matrix • Common Evaluation Framework • Naacemark Self Review Framework

  3. 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. Self Review Framework

  4. 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 following elements. • Leadership and Management • Curriculum • Learning & Teaching • Assessment • Professional Development • Extending Opportunities for Learning • Resources • Impact on Pupil Outcomes Self Review Framework

  10. National ICT Mark

  11. Demonstrates commitment to continual improvement through ICT • Externally assessed • Nationally agreed standards and threshold • Tried and tested – 20 pilot schools . • First 200 awarded at BETT National ICT Mark …. ‘The process has been time consuming but there is little doubt that the framework is an effective tool for identifying strengths and areas for development within schools’

  12. Based on schools own review using the Self Review Framework • Apply for assessment when ready • Register of trained accredited assessors • Small charge for assessor time ‘We are delighted to receive the ICT Mark. It recognises our approach to ICT and the positive impact that it is having on our whole school life.’ Accreditation

  13. This guidance advises schools and Local Authorities (LAs) on using specific grants for learning, teaching and managing with ICT over 2006-2007. This is a transition year for the ICT funding as we move to a new method of funding and this is outlined below. Funding http://publications.teachernet.gov.uk/default.aspx?PageFunction=productdetails&PageMode=publications&ProductId=DFES-0193-2006&

  14. The main change is to the former Grant 31a which, from 2006-2007 is divided into two separate grants. The capital grant element of Grant 31a merges with Devolved Formula Capital (DFC) and the revenue element (previously the Local Authority matched funding) is part of the new School Development Grant (SDG). Funding

  15. There are no changes to the use of this grant. eLCs are paid to LAs as a ring-fenced Standards Fund capital grant (which may be supplemented by spend from the schools’ DFC grant) for the purchase of digital teaching and learning materials. Electronic Learning Credits (eLCs)

  16. “The changes made to funding for ICT provide schools with greater flexibility and autonomy in how they decide to spend funding for the full range of learning technologies. Although included within it, there is no separately identifiable allocation for ICT within DFC and SDG – decisions about how much a school decides to spend on ICT should be based on their own individual needs and priorities.” Funding

  17. The term learning platform describes a broad range of ICT systems used to deliver and support learning. The government’s target is that all pupils will be able to access a personalised online workspace, capable of supporting an e-portfolio, by 2007-08.
