L2tICT Impacting School Leadership – Next Generation Learning Stewart Smith ICT Advisor, LB Brent Director / Trustee, London Grid for Learning Trust

Next Generation Learning The Role of Technology in Raising Standards LGfL Annual Consortium Conference 15 th July Mary Sumner House

The Eight Elements to be covered in a regular ICT review Leadership and Management Curriculum Learning and Teaching Assessment Professional Development Extended Learning opportunities Resources Impact on pupil outcomes

A few possible approaches to self-review One lead person reviews all elements The leadership team reviews and completes the framework School staff work in teams to complete each element All staff work together to review an element The leadership team or staff teams provide feedback to all staff The person feeds back to the leadership team Views of all staff, pupils, governors and community are obtained through discussion, contributions are made to the review commentary and a consensus is reached on the levels achieved All staff contribute to discussion and form a consensus Staff work together on each element in turn All staff work on identifying the actions that need to be taken to progress to higher levels of maturity. Responsibilities and accountabilities are agreed with the leadership team and actions become part of the school improvement plan

Actions supported by the leadership team determine improvement outcomes..rather than actions changing the learning environment. Schools tend to focus actions on staff and resources…. The self-review elements working together Impact on the Learner The curriculum Extending opportunities for learning Learning and teaching Assessment Professional development (People resource) Resources Leadership and management
