The Digital Schools Award Checklist allows each school to better understand areas for improvement. This enables schools to identify particular aspects of Digital Learning that can be harnessed and focused on for staff, students or senior leaders. The checklist has been transferred onto Google Forms (left) this will allow East Lothian Schools to see clearly their areas for improvement but also enable East Lothian's Digital team to understand trends and plan appropriate support for schools through the training and development team.
