How Good Is Our School? Using ICT in Learning and Teaching. Self-Evaluation Series
Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education
The revised edition of "How good is our school?" (HM Inspectorate of Education 2002) has been widely welcomed in schools and authorities. This document is one of a series of guides to self-evaluation that builds on the advice given in "How good is our school?" The materials are designed for staff who have responsibilities relating to the management and delivery of learning and teaching. The introductory publication to the series, "Planning for Improvement," outlines how staff can use the outcomes of self-evaluation to plan effectively for improvement. This guide can be used to evaluate how well a school is using information and communications technology (ICT) within learning and teaching. It shows how one can select a cluster of quality indicators that focus on key features which can have a significant impact on the achievement and experience of pupils. This guide provides a series of generic key questions about the use of ICT in learning and teaching. Effective quality assurance is needed to ensure that using ICT leads to educational gains for all learners. ICT offers real opportunities to make lasting improvements to learning and teaching. While it is an essential tool for learning across the curriculum, teachers will use it in different ways in different curricular areas. This guide will help teachers and managers to evaluate how well they integrate the use of ICT into learning and teaching and ensure an overall balance in the range of approaches used in the classroom.
