Background to the Self Review Framework

• 2005 Secretary of State for Education issues a
  challenge for Becta to lead in the development of
  a roadmap to enable schools to identify where
  they are and give practical steps to deploy ICT
  resources to best effect.
• Bectas response is to work in collaboration with
  partner organisations to develop the Self Review
  Framework

Developing the Framework

• A model for self-review and guide towards
  e-maturity
• Developed and supported by all partner agencies

  self review tool

Why do we need the Self Review Framework?

• Q1. How many of us here think the use of ICT in
  their school is average or better?
• Q2. How many of us think the use of ICT in their
  school is good or better?
• Q3. How many of us think our ICT use is
  outstanding?
• Q4. How do you know?

Purposes of the Self Review Framework

• The purposes of the Self Review Framework are to
  enable schools to
• Better manage and develop ICT in line with best
  practice,
• Identify effective and ineffective use of
  valuable resources,
• Plan improvements and future developments,
• Recognise achievement,
• Promote better learning.

Why Should We Use the SRF?

• Only 1 in 5 schools are using ICT effectively
• What constitutes effective ICT use?
• If my school is one of the 80 not using ICT
  effectively, what do I need to do to reach the
  required position?
• Ofsted ICT in primary and secondary schools
  (jan 2008)
• Schools need better guidance on evaluating ICT
  development and its impact on whole-school
  improvement
• Schools need more help with assessing pupils
  ICT capability
• The potential for ICT needs to be recognised and
  built into school improvement planning
• Pupils use of ICT inside and outside school
  needs to be taken into account
• Training is needed for subject leaders, teachers
  and assistants

What is the Self Review Framework?

• The Self Review Framework (SRF) is
• both a process and a tool
• to enable schools to measure, record and improve
  their use of ICT.

9
Who should be involved in completing the SRF?

• The SRF is not a tool for one person
• Leadership needs to be in place
• For the whole process
• For each element (?)
• The SRF is about whole-school improvement,
  therefore,
• The whole school needs to be involved

10
Possible processes

• In the next slide, you will be shown different
  possible ways which you can use to
• implement the Self Review Framework in your
  school.
• If you already have processes in place to review
  other aspects of your school,
• then it may be best to use those processes to
  carry out the SRF.
