Towards a framework ….. Vision Development Where do we want to go? Why? How?

Vision Reflects the broad human, social, & environmental betterment in which the framework is situated and to which it is contributing

Vision statement The vision statement looks to the future and is written in broad terms. This will form the basis of the ICT-TPD framework and thus needs be thought out carefully. How will the framework fit within other national policies and reforms in progress?  The vision should be strong and shared  Aligned to the overall National Vision, National Plans for ICT development, ICT in Education Policy and sector plans

Vision statement Imagine that in 3-5 years the ICT-TPD national programme has been extremely successful. What changes will it have helped to bring about? What are your teachers and students doing differently? What have they achieved? How has the framework contributed to educational access, quality, equity and capacity building? In essence, what would total success look like?

Y country communities are being empowered with the skills that will equip them to participate on a competitive footing in the economic, research and development fields of the 21 st global information society.

Goals and objectives How can the framework best contribute to or support the achievement of the vision? What areas does it need to work in to promote and support the realization of the vision? What does it need to do in these areas? What does it need to accomplish in these areas?

Example: Goals and Objectives The major goal of the X-Teacher Training Programme is to build national capacity in the effective use of ICT in education through initial training of teachers and professional development of existing teachers and facilitators. This goal is to be achieved by following objectives: to effectively utilize and fully infuse ICT in all aspects of the educational process, thereby effecting a paradigm shift from teacher-centred teaching to ICT- enabled student-centred interactive and independent learning.

Example: Goals and Objectives to improve teachers’ competence and confidence, through both pre- service education and in-service training, in order to fully integrate or infuse ICT in all aspects of the educational process and to transform the classroom from teacher-centred teaching to ICT-assisted interactive and independent learning; to identify, create, and disseminate regional, locally-specific pedagogies and models of technology utilization and technology- pedagogy integration in diversified instructional environments; and to develop and put into operation a regional online teacher resource base and a regional offline network of centres of excellence in order to share innovative practices and resources and to help in ongoing professional development using ICT for educational purposes.
