Next Generation LearningDigital Technology and Institutional Change

Autumn Term Programme

Mary Sumner House

Led by:

Graham Dring


We are very pleased to announce that we have now completed the preparation of a new 2½ day support programme for the Strategic Leadership of ICT in schools.

The programme is designed to follow on from the highly successful London SLICT programme that so many LA schools attended.

The first cohort for schools in each LA will be led by a highly experienced tutor in conjunction with an LA ICT Officer and, where appropriate, an LGfL Curriculum Consultant.


The Next Generation Learning programme is aimed at head teachers and members of the senior leadership team, including the ICT subject leader

ALL schools will be eligible, whether or not members of staff have taken part in previous SLICT programmes

It will provide an opportunity to work together to further the knowledge, skills and understanding needed to continue developing Digital Technology and Institutional Change

Schools from 4 Las attended and evaluated a rigorous 2 day pilot which led to a considerable programme review

So far 90 delegates from 49 schools and from 6 LAs have attended the first 4 two day events

Evaluations, both verbal and written, have been very positive

The programme continues to evolve in the light of these comments and other developments

“I don’t need ICT, my school is doing well enough as it is”

Stephen Crowne – Chief Executive Becta

Then schools are “Failing to deliver the outcomes they could be delivering, were they to use ICT effectively, and

not merely use it as a bolt on.”

This programme seeks to help you understand how to answer some very basic questions.

As far as ICT in our schools is concerned:

1. Where are we now?

2. Where do we want to be?

3. How do we get there?

1 may be said to be relatively straight forward.

3 – bit harder and 2 harder still.

Do we know enough about what is possible with ICT – to know where we want to be and how to get there?

This Next Generation Learning Programme is all about:

• Change Management• Changing People• The engagement of SLTs with this programme of change

But change for what:• Current ICT development needs and national targets• Rose – implications for Primary and Secondary schools• BSF – a large budget percentage is ring fenced for ICT• PCP – ICT budget not yet ring fenced, but still essential

• Children and young people don’t lead linear lives, their lives outside of school are complex and multi layered

• Will schools change to adapt to these new lifestyles in time?

• Employers were asking a similar question at NAACE conferences years ago.

• Literacy, numeracy and ICT must be prioritised and are prescribed in the recent Rose report.
