Becta Self-Review Framework and ICT Mark

https://selfreview.becta.org.uk

The Self Review Framework was updated in June 2010. Please follow the link above to see details

Simple Guide to the Self-Review Framework

This section of our website has been put together to help you find your way round the Becta self-review framework for ICT. The self-review framework is being used by more than half of all schools nationally to gauge where they are now and decide what they need to do to become an e-mature school.

Completing the self-review framework also enables schools to work towards gaining the ICT Mark, although this is not obligatory. The ICT Mark is the national accreditation for schools achieving high standards in their use of technology.

What is the BECTA Self Review Framework for ICT?

The Becta Self Review Framework for ICT is an online tool that allows schools to:

• assess and improve their use of ICT
• see what "good" use of ICT looks like
• benchmark their progress against other schools
• identify strengths
• see suggested actions for improvement.

Once the Framework is completed you will be able to print out some recommended actions which can feed in to the Self Evaluation Form (SEF) and school development plan. It is our very strong recommendation that school leadership is involved from the start.

The Structure of the BECTA Self Review Framework

The framework encourages schools to assess their ICT performance in six areas:

Within each element are strands;

In each strand there are aspects;

e.g. Vision for ICT

• The Vision
• Development and Ownership of the Vision
• Reviewing the Vision
  

Each aspect has  developmental increments against which you assess your school:

You are making an assessment of your journey towards becoming an e-mature school.

It is important to complete the Becta self-review framework online so it can be easily updated and other features of the tool can be used.

The ICT Mark

The ICT Mark is a nationally recognised accreditation scheme which gives schools recognition for their achievements in reaching a standard of maturity in their use of technology.

Schools must complete the Becta self-review framework before applying for ICT Mark assessment but when ready complete an online application form. (The threshold is clearly shown on the self-review in each section by the ICT Mark symbol:
