Information & Computer Technology
‘Technology is the key to personalised learning.’
(Harnessing Technology: transforming learning and children’s services DfES e-Strategy, March 2005)
ICT enables teachers to adapt the curriculum to learners’ needs and interests. Imaginative use of ICT may engage even the poorly-motivated in the excitement of learning.
How can we support school improvement in and through ICT?
- Advise and support headteachers in the strategic leadership and self-review of ICT
- Work with Subject Leaders to review standards, evaluate practice, improve planning and assessment, and ensure progression
- Improve teaching staff confidence and competence in using curriculum hardware and software
- Provide support for the use of ICT to enhance learning and teaching across the curriculum

School Based
These posts are partly funded by the Local Authority.
These teachers undertake outreach work outside their own schools. They also contribute substantially to developments in their own schools, both within ICT and also across other departments. They are a source of exemplar teaching and subject expertise and are increasingly asked to share and develop best practice with other teachers and schools. They also may contribute to events such as the annual ICT Conference.
