Objectives To reflect on actions taken since the last session to develop your role of ICT Subject Leader and the impact this has had in school To provide support to carry out lesson observations To consider ways in which monitoring can be followed up To support you in assessing and levelling children’s ICT capability in order to support effective Assessment for Learning and Assessment of Learning To consider effective tracking and recording of children’s progress in ICT

Outline of Day 9.30Impact of the last session – what have you done to develop your role since the last session and what impact has it had on ICT in your school? 10.00Monitoring: Triangulation 10.30Coffee 10.45Lesson observations Monitoring – how do you follow it up? 12.00Lunch 1.00Assessing children’s ICT skills and capability Recording and tracking Target Setting 3.15Evaluation and Finish

What Now? What are your next steps in school? Gap Task Plan and carry out some monitoring of ICT before the next session. If you do not have an ICT action plan identify the key areas for development and construct one. Spend some more time looking at the SRF. engage the head teacher, governors, SMT, other subject leaders.

Developing your role since the last session Question: What have you done to develop your role and to move ICT forward in your school since the last session? What impact has this had on standards of ICT? What has gone well? Why? What would you have liked to have gone better? What are the next steps?

Monitoring Standards Planning Work scrutiny Informal observations/ discussion with staff Learning walks Pupil interviews Audit of staff skills Lesson observations Analysing Data – will cover when we do assessment. Moderation between teams/classes

Triangulation Using a range of sources of information to gain a picture of standards Task: Look at the assessments for Child 1, 2 and 3 Look at the planning for the history session. What information can you gain from this? What comments would you feedback to the teacher involved? What would be your next steps?

Lesson Observations and Sampling What is the purpose of a lesson observation or lesson sampling? –To gather more information about standards in the school. –Not about making judgements but ascertaining where people are in order to establish whole school or individual training needs –Opportunity to identify good practice and share –Opportunity to assess resourcing –Opportunity to know where children are

What are the protocols when conducting a lesson observation? Must have a clear reason and focus that is shared with the teacher. Must give appropriate notice and take into account other things that may be happening. Oral feedback should be offered and given within 24 hours. Overall, whole school feedback should be collated and shared. The observer should not affect the normal process of the lesson.

How do we know what a ‘good’ lesson is? What would you be looking for in a ‘good lesson’? What makes a lesson outstanding?

Carrying Out Lesson Observations Task Watch the lesson segment. –What would judge to be good about the lesson? (in terms of the use of ICT) –What aspects could be improved? –How would you structure the feedback to this teacher?

Giving Feedback Say thank you! Ask the teacher how they felt it went first – this makes them reflect as well as you. Provide the Ofsted evaluation schedule. Reinforce the focus of the observation and relate your comments to this. Pick out positives as well as areas for development if this is appropriate. Ensure any feedback points given are included in the whole school record.

And After the Monitoring? What are the next steps? Whole school focus as identified from monitoring Re monitor a month/term later Set targets for people if necessary Procuring new equipment/software or training and supporting the use Team teach/lesson observation

Supporting Colleagues NQT Experienced teacher who is slightly ‘ICT Phobic’ and is only delivering the parts of the ICT SOW they feel confident with Good, experienced teacher who wants support in one particular area Teacher who is confident and technically very ICT proficient but is not following the school’s long term plan and is therefore not ensuring progression for the children in their class.

Assessment

What are we Assessing in ICT?

ICT National Curriculum Four aspects of the programme of study –Finding things out –Developing ideas and making things happen –Exchanging and sharing information –Reviewing, modifying and evaluating work as it progresses 2/subjects/ict/keystage1/index.aspx

ICT capability Focus: Children use and apply their ICT knowledge, skills and understanding confidently and competently in their learning and in everyday contexts. They become independent and discerning users of technology, recognising opportunities and risks and using strategies to stay safe. From the ‘Rose Review’

ICT Skills and Capability Skills - knowing how to use a program, a piece of equipment or technology and being able to ‘make it work’ Capability - when a child is able to appropriately apply the knowledge, understanding and skills they have acquired to new learning situations and understands the significance of ICT in the world and in their learning and life.

Assessment Assessment for Learning –Integral part of all lessons –Enables children to be moved on within a session and between sessions Summative Assessment –End of every unit of ICT work –After ICT has been used as a tool in another curriculum area –Portfolio for cross section of class to exemplify standards

Assessment for Learning Provision of effective feedback to pupils Active involvement of pupils in learning Recognising the profound influence of assessment on motivation and self-esteem Pupils able to assess themselves and know how to improve Adjusting teaching as a result of assessment Enables teacher to know what has been learnt, not what they have been taught.

Assessment for Learning Strategies Effective questioning techniques Using effective feedback strategies Sharing learning goals and success criteria Peer and self assessment

The Characteristics of the Levels Task 1 The 8 National Curriculum levels focus on key characteristics which run through all aspects of the PoS. Children working within a particular level will demonstrate certain characteristics. Decide which characteristics are typical of Levels 1- 5

The Characteristics of NC Levels Level 1Level 2Level 3Level 4Level 5 Explore information Organise and classify information Find and use appropriate stored information Collect, find and interrogate information Select information, check its accuracy and organise Recognise that devices respond to instructions Plan and give instructions Use sequences of instructions to control devices Use ICT systems to control events Create sequences of instructions to control events Talk about their use of ICT Talk about their experiences of ICT Describe their use of ICT Compare their use of ICT with other methods Discuss their knowledge and experience of using ICT Work with text, images and sound to help them share their ideas Share their ideas in different forms including text, tables, images and sound Share and exchange their ideas with others Present information in different forms and show they are aware of the intended audience Structure, refine and present information in different forms and styles for specific purposes and audiences

The Characteristics of NC Levels Level 1Level 2Level 3Level 4Level 5 Use of ICT to explore options and explore and share ideas Use ICT to develop work Use of ICT to develop and refine work Combine and refine information Combine the use of ICT tools Use of ICT to communicate meaning Use ICT purposefully Use of ICT to solve problems Interpret information Question reliability and plausibility of information Evaluates fitness for purpose Develop familiarity with ICT tools Use of ICT to towards achieving specific outcomes Use ICT to achieve specific outcomes Show an awareness of audience and a need for quality Fulfill specific purpose and meet the needs of the audience Talk about their use of ICT Describe how they use ICT to develop work Describe their use of ICT inside and outside school Compare their use of ICT with other methods and with its use outside school Discuss knowledge and experience of using ICT Use ICT safely by following instructions. Follow instructions on the safe use of ICT. Follow strategies for staying safe. Manage some of the risks associated with the digital environment. Use ICT safely and responsibly.

Key Features of Progression Level 1 – Exploratory use and developing familiarity Level 2 – Purposeful use toward specific outcomes Level 3 – Develop and refine ideas and solve problems. Achieve specific outcomes Level 4 – Combine and refine information from various sources. Interpret and consider plausibility. Show an awareness of audience and a need for quality. Level 5 – Combine the use of ICT tools to fulfil a specified purpose. Critically evaluate fitness for purpose and meet needs of the audience.

AF1 – Planning, developing and evaluating Opportunities for children to make choices about their use of ICT when working in a range of contexts and for a variety of purposes. Support documents included in the SoW to help with this.

Making a Level Judgment Complete AF judgements against the requirements for each level. The decision should take account of how fully and consistently the criteria have been met and how far the pupil demonstrates independence and choice across a range of evidence. Finalise the overall level judgement by deciding whether the level is low, secure or high: Low –several criteria for the level are highlighted but there are substantial gaps. –Only 1 of the criteria in AF1 has been met. –The pupil is working within the overall level, but there are significant areas that need to be developed further before secure performance at the level is demonstrated. Secure –most of the criteria for the level are highlighted in each AF. –The first 2 criteria in AF1 are met. –There may be a few unmet criteria in other AFs, but the highlighting shows that the standard for the level has been substantially met across each of the assessment focuses. High –the criteria for the level are highlighted across all, or almost all, the AFs, with some criteria in the level above being highlighted for some AFs. – All criteria in AF1 are met.
