17. Where’s the evidence? • Primary Schools ICT and standards(in your school’s conference pack) • The report analyses data from primary schools inspected in the year 2000 and focuses on their KS2 results and their use of ICT. • “Good ICT learning is dependent on five critical factors: good school leadership, a good general standard of teaching, good management of ICT as a subject, good classroom teaching of ICT, and the availability of good ICT resources. Clearly, the effective use of ICT requires much more than merely providing the right technical infrastructure. For ICT to have a positive effect in schools, it requires significant organisational leadership and good quality teaching across the school.” • “Where school leaders have developed and deployed ICT strategically, then teachers and learners are using it effectively to transform the teaching and learning processes and raise educational standards.” • “Primary schools of the future- achieving today” (BECTa) • “The Secondary school of the future” (BECTa) • Impact and Impact 2 • Information Management – Supporting success
