LEARNING
There is evidence of learners taking responsibility for their learning
Learning to learn is central to the ethos of the school
The importance of learning through life is understood by learners
With the growth in awareness of the value and direction of learning young people are enabled to make choices about what they study and how they will learn

Learning programmes systematically develop digital literacy, research skills, self-evaluation and creativity
There is clear evidence that the learner is central to the work of the school and that the school isn't just there for the convenience of teachers
ICT is enabling learning that is about creation not consumption; about application of knowledge rather of only absorption of knowledge

TEACHING
Teachers provide scope for independent learning
Teachers enable those who want to learn to go further
Obstacles to learning for all have been reviewed and removed
Subject teachers will travel to the learners to provide specialist input - possibly in more than one school
Teachers actively build online resources for their subject with the aim of making every learning resource available online.
Teachers are primarily 'Learning Leaders' and can provide evidence that they are effective in this role
There is suitably high priority given to making 'Assessment for Learning' work effectively
Learners have been taught strategies to critically evaluate websites and resources and to operate safely in an online environment
ACCESS
Learners are able to access their assignments wherever they are
Learners can engage in learning programmes from home as well as school
All Learners and teachers have access to their personal resources and files wherever they are. There is no longer any need to hump information around
Learners have a single log-in to their workspace whatever system they use
Opportunities for video conferencing and distance learning have been explored and adopted where they increase learning opportunities
ICT access is available across the whole school, including Wi-Fi in outside areas

KEY ENABLERS
LEARNERS

LEARNERS
Learners no longer think about using the technology because it has become a transparent tool to be used when appropriate.
Learners do not talk about the school as the ‘building’ or place they go to, but about what they achieve there, who they do it with, and share their successes openly with others.
Learners talk about their learning environment, how it has helped them to collaborate with other children and adults, about the community to which they belong.
Learners take it for granted that they have right to a pleasant place in which to learn and work
Learners make different uses of technology as they move around the school
Learners who were once not excited about their education now look forward to it
Learners have developed a positive attitude to lessons and appreciate the importance of the teacher's role in advancing their learning
