What is Hands on Support? • sharing good practice in the use of ICT to enhance teaching and learning • classroom based support for teachers • differentiated support, suited to individual teachers’ needs • support that goes beyond basic skills and technology • releasing value from prior investment in ICT infrastructure, equipment, connectivity and training

  18. Report by individual users

  19. Report by filtered scores

  20. Report by filtered scores First group These teachers probably need to improve their basic skills and confidence to use ICT before embarking on HOS support. Second group These staff have sufficient personal skills to gain from Hands on Support. The school needs to decide from the profile of these staff who would benefit from HOS support, given the resources available and the needs of the school. Third group Could be potential Hands on Support Providers.

  21. The HOS Matrix has been designed to help schools think about how to make best use of the resources available to them. • The groupings of teachers shown on the previous slide are only indicative. • Schools should exercise judgement and interpret the results using common sense and their own knowledge of staff. For example: • teachers at the top end of category 2 may have the right skills to be Hands on Support providers.
