Gain an understanding of the school's current provision and standards

It is possible to collect information from staff in several ways.

Staff Audit

You can share an audit that measures staff's digital skills, and their confidence to teach digital skills and offer experiences ensuring an appropriate level of challenge.

Here are links to a questionnaire template you can modify and share.

You can use it at this stage to identify the baseline, and repeat it over time in order to measure the impact of your action on your staff.

For the first link you will need to click and then select the option to duplicate. To complete the questionnaire in Welsh you must go to the language options at the top of the screen and select 'Welsh'.

Professional Conversations

You may be able to hold professional conversations with heads of department and by reviewing lesson plans, discussing standards and statements of the framework it's possible to identify where the digital work fits into the Framework.

Another method to gather information and gain an understanding of the digital provision is by holding progress coversations - listening to learners.

Suggestion?

You may want to interview a cross-section of learners, across a range of ages. You can either interview everyone at once or interview the learners by year / class.

This activity gives you the opportunity to discuss their work, and to ask them to explain what they have learned and achieved, by using subject terminology and technical language correctly.

As well as being able to see if there is consistency in the way their work is shared and stored, you will also witness the confidence of your learners as they discuss different tasks.

To complete the conversation you may want to discuss the feedback they receive and how this helps them to raise the standard of their work.
