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

6
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
All staff contribute to discussion and form a
consensus
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
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

Dimensions of change
Jacqueline S. Thousand Richard A.
Villa Managing Complex Change 2001
The Self-review framework can guide a school
through the change process. A school using the
framework can have confidence in where they are
and where they are going.
