Outcomes

• Key outcomes:• Improved capacity of Subject Leaders to

ensure more effective use of ICT across the primary curriculum

• Increased awareness of national materials and initiatives to support embedding ICT across the curriculum

• Description• These sessions will provide an opportunity to

receive updates from the PNS team, for networking, and for sharing of good practice.



This session

• This is the first in a series of four forums over the course of the year and will give delegates the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the tools they might use to assess the progress of embedding ICT across the curriculum in their school. There will be specific input on the effective use of Interactive Whiteboards and an opportunity to determine the particular focus of the three subsequent sessions for each regional group.

Naacemark criteria 4 A planned approach to the use of ICT within, and across the

curriculum • Schools will meet this requirement if there is

a clearly planned approach to the use of ICT in other subject areas, as described within the statutory requirements of the national curriculum. The use of ICT will not be ‘ad hoc’; there will be a well defined and understood strategy. This may be represented by the following approaches, but a school does not need to meet all the possible approaches



Naacemark Criteria 4.1

Criteria Guidance Evidence

A curriculum map indicating regular[1] links between ICT and other subjects to improve teaching and learning;

Long-term curriculum plans showing where and how ICT will be used to promote, enhance and support learning.

Long-term curriculum plans

[1] Regular in this instance is taken to mean at least termly in the above statements. It may be that the use of ICT in other subjects is being developed in a systematic manner beyond this basic objective.





Clearly planned activities in curricular contexts where ICT enhances and supports teaching and

Medium and short-term lesson plans showing how ICT will be used to achieve subject teaching and learning objectives.

Medium and short term subject lesson plans





Evidence of the use of ICT in other subjects is available across year groups;

Long and medium term plans or curriculum map show details of where ICT may be used to promote, enhance and support learning.

An accumulation of evidence showing that curriculum plans are being implemented.





A carefully thought out strategy for use of resources;

A coordinated approach to the purchase and use of resources to ensure that funding is used effectively.

Evidence that there is an appropriate procedure for the effective acquisition of additional resourcesRequests and orders for resources are checked and authorised.



Naacemark Criteria 4

• Schools should consider how they maintain such an evidence base. Schools may wish to consider if this is to be the task of the ICT co-ordinator, co-ordination teams or subject co-ordinators.
