Curriculum support service (ICT)
Basic curriculum
service:
This service will be carried out in a flexible manner to suit the
needs of the school, but should include the following:-
Annual curriculum audit
The consultant will visit the school to establish where in
the curriculum for each year group elements of the Programme of Study
for ICT are being taught, and which elements are missing from the
current teaching.
In order to carry out this work the consultant will require
access to the long and medium term plans for all subjects in each year
group, either as discrete subjects or as integrated topics. These plans
should be at whatever level of planning is being used.
This would be delivered to the best extent reasonably
possible in a half-day visit to the school.
Assistance with long & medium
term planning
After completing the curriculum audit, the consultant will
work with teachers and/or ICT co-ordinator to establish how the complete
programme of study for ICT can be delivered and produce outline plans
for all elements that are not already planned.
This would be delivered to the best extent reasonably
possible in a half-day visit to the school.
Assessment
Having established where in the teaching of each year group
there are elements of the programme of study for ICT, the consultant
will work with teachers and/or the ICT co-ordinator to establish the
criteria for assessing the level at which each child is working.
Where it is helpful the consultant will work with teachers to
show the practice of establishing the performance of individual
children.
This would be delivered to the best extent reasonably
possible in a ‘twilight session’ visit to the school.
Reporting to parents
Having completed the audit, planning and assessment of the
curriculum for ICT, the consultant will assist the ICT co-ordinator to
produce an appropriate format for reporting to parents in a manner that
complies with regulation, and work with teachers to show how assessments
of individual children can be used to produce reports.
This would be delivered to the best extent reasonably
possible in a ‘twilight session’ visit to the school.
