Leading change in ICT in support of pupil learning - a NCSL Research Associate Summary Report by Ann Gill. (6 pages, although only 3 contain the main text!)
The guide offers advice on what headteachers need to do to secure funding to support the time and money needed to develop ICT in schools.
- Stay in touch with how children learn to see the value of what is available.
- Understand the demands on teachers, and work within an appropriate timeframe, properly resourced and with suitable training.
- Be adaptable. If something does not live up to expectations, have a rethink.
- Keep parents and governors involved and informed of new developments.
- Take as many opportunities as possible to look at what is going on in other schools.
The report also talks about leadership characteristics and strategies. See:
