Links
with Literacy and Numeracy Strategies
Links
will take place through concentrating on the relation between
ICT and pedagogy in the execution of Literacy and Numeracy strategies.
Links will be made between the teacher's acquisition of pedagogic
capabilities using ICT, the available resources and materials
to support literacy and numeracy and other key strategies, and
the evaluation of the effects of ICT resources and materials in
teaching and learning strategies.
Through
the steering group, locally identified priorities will be factored
into the training programmes of teachers.
Independent
of the steering group but through the national agenda-setting
organs of education, tutors will be encouraged to promote use
of ICT to address issues within the debates on numeracy, literacy
and the raising of standards.
Individual
modules on using ICT to raise attainment standards in the top
and bottom 20% of pupils will be available, as well as modules
dealing with raising standards across the phase or subject.
Individual
modules on using ICT to gather and evaluate data to address questions
of attainment will be available.
The
'C'ommunications and the 'L'earning of Information
Communications Technology and Information Learning Technology
will be prioritised at all times, and the impact of the 'C' and
the 'L' on teachers and students will form the focus of all work.
