Becta Self-Review Framework Workshop

Purpose: Reminder - Spaces available - 1st October 2007

Audience: Secondary Schools - Headteacher and ICT Subject Leader

Book a FREE place for your ICT Subject Leader and/or member of the School's Leadership Team to take part in a workshop on the Becta Self-Review Framework for ICT on 1st October 1.30 - 4.45pm (lunch available from 12.45pm) at Education ICT Service, 42 West Street, Godmanchester, PE29 2HJ.

This is a chance to work with an adviser to concentrate on selected elements of the Framework. There is no charge, thanks to additional funding received from Becta to increase the level of schools' engagement with SRF.

The Framework consists of eight elements:

        *       Leadership and Management
        *       Curriculum
        *       Learning and Teaching
        *       Assessment
        *       Professional Development
        *       Extending Opportunities for Learning
        *       Resources
        *       Impact on Pupil Outcomes.

For newcomers to SRF, the first half of the workshop will focus on the Leadership element. Working though the Framework will enable your school to identify areas of strength or areas that require further development. Schools reaching a certain level on the Framework can then apply for the ICT Mark, the national quality accreditation.

More details can be downloaded from the Portal - Resource ID 3771.
