13. New Opportunities New opportunities to raise standards through innovation New opportunities to promote and develop the school Shelly Park Technology College for Girls

14. Three Questions for principals 1.Has the school developed a clear and agreed vision for the application of ICT and is this consistent with the overall goals of the school? 2.How effective is the current use and impact of ICT within teaching and learning? 3.Is the school clear about what needs to be done to ensure that ICT developments are sustainable and have a positive impact on quality and standards?

15. For Schools Before the school starts to use ICT in subject teaching, an effective ICT development plan needs to be taken in account. It involves: visionstandardsanalysiscoherence supportco-ordinationmonitoringbest values

16. Effective ICT development planning (1-8) Vision Has the school developed its strategic vision for the school and classroom of the future with staff, governors, and the wider school community, that reflects what students in your school will experience?

17. Effective ICT development planning (2-8) Standards Is the plan sufficiently focused on raising attainment for all students in ICT, including the effective use of ICT within the whole curriculum?

18. Effective ICT development planning (3-8) Analysis Is planning based on a careful audit and analysis of the present picture looking at curriculum implementation, staff needs, resource and infrastructure requirements, and wider community links?

19.

22. Effective ICT development planning (7-8) Monitoring Do senior mangers know the quality of ICT in the school, are targets sufficiently smart, and are there enough and specific measures to check the progress and impact of the development plan in order to take remedial action if necessary?
