Our ICT Strategy What does good look like? What
be: A statement of your objectives To get from where you are now to where you want to be Based on outcomes (why are we doing this) Realistic and achievable Accessible to an executive audience A baseline to underpin ICT investments and expenditure Specific to your Trust/school
A technical design or architecture/blueprint A reflection of already known plans / projects Based on outputs or inputs (what and how do we do it) Unrealistic and unachievable A series of technical jargon and acronyms A business case seeking funding for projects Cut & paste from the internet
Our ICT Strategy
Purpose (example)
We have reached a point in the development of our Trust where we need to standardise ICT provision across our schools, whilst allowing & accepting local differences.
As part of this we are seeking to modernise, simplify, & rationalise the ICT we currently have as part of a proactive, well managed strategic approach. Ultimately our aim is to improve & stabilise the provision of ICT for our teachers, pupils, & administrative staff.

Transformation Process for School Leaders
Education Transformation Framework
Within each area of the
ETF, technology is a key enabler to unlock opportunity.
About the ETF
Holistic approach
The education of the whole child requires a complex integration of numerous functions of a school system. Successful transformations are holistic and systemic.
Global best practice
Examples of what works and what doesn’t from education institutions around the world to identify those strategies that are the most impactful.
Research from policy makers and academics where learning transformation initiatives have made dramatic improvements.
Grounded in research
Vision for Change
Build a shared, inclusive vision representing the aspirations of students, teachers, leaders, and the community with the flexibility for ongoing revisions to address continual change.
Leadership & Policy
Sample Projects: ETF Workshops to identify key pain points, deployment of stronger supportive tools to drive collaboration (Office 365, Teams, Intune), technology agreements and roadmap.
Strategic Planning & Change Management
Develop strategic implementation plans and identify strategies and processes to support stakeholder groups through the transition.
Continuous Improvement & Culture
Continuously monitor progress and measure results while fostering a culture of organic growth, improvement, collaboration, and innovation.
Community Engagement & Partnerships
Enable effective transformation through community engagement and a coalition of partners with complementary competencies and knowledge.
Collaboratively envisioning and creating an intentional culture of innovation and learning, with shared goals that engage the community and motivate leaders, educators, and all stakeholders to plan and lead change.
Student-Centered Learning
Create a pedagogy inclusive of teaching and learning practices that are project and competency-based, collaborative, and require students to own their learning.
Teaching & Learning
Helping all students achieve their potential by taking a student-centered approach to explore all aspects of teaching and learning: curriculum, assessment, devices, and spaces with a focus on understanding and meeting the needs of all students.
Sample Projects: LMS integration & implementations, Predictive analytics and skills platforms (Azure, Power BI)
Curriculum & Assessment
New forms of curriculum whether project based, personalized or competency driven – require new tools to access, customize and assess progress for each student.
Devices for Learning
Offer students multi modal learning through voice, touch, and digital ink and increase their ability to retain information, generate new ideas, and use real world software.
Learning Spaces
Align spatial design with learning goals, so lesson plans drive the classroom setup, instead of the other way around and physical learning spaces are more flexible, collaborative, equitable, healthy, and inspiring.
Hybrid Learning
Enable learning in physical, digital and hybrid realms, seamlessly spanning formal and informal learning contexts across time, location, and learning media.
Intelligent Environments
Developing safe and secure onsite and online environments and leveraging data analytics to optimize student outcomes and to create efficient, responsive, and sustainable processes and allocation of resources.
Safety, Security, & Privacy
Ensure the safety of students, faculty, and staff using the latest security monitoring, communications, notification, and emergency response systems and technologies.
Optimized & Sustainable Operations
Optimize and increase the efficiency of the daily operation of schools, including administration, logistics, and IT to increase productivity and reduce cost.
Advanced Analytics & AI
Use Integrated data with advanced analytics for system improvements and visibility into teaching, learning, and administration progress within and across classrooms and schools.
Sample Projects: LMS integration & implementations, Connective tools (Azure IoT), analytics (Dynamics 365, Power BI, Stream Analytics)
Educator, Leader, & IT Development
Build collaborative capacity for educators, staff, IT, and leaders as part of a learning community working to continuously improve teaching and learning.
Student & School Success
Anchored in equity and inclusion, building capacity through professional learning and development for all to ensure students develop their social and emotional skills and are successfully prepared for the future.
Sample Projects: New learning management systems, collaboration tools (Teams), analytic tools (Power BI, Viva), device implementations, connection platforms (Azure Active Directory, Intune)
Future-Ready Skills
Empower students with the digital and productivity skills they need to be successful and active participants in the community for employment and entrepreneurship.
Social Emotional Learning
Develop students’ ability to manage emotions, set and achieve goals, feel, and show empathy for others, establish, and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
Equity, Inclusion, & Accessibility
Provide accessible technology that can meet the needs of all students looking to take greater responsibility for their learning and development of technology skills.
What is a strategy?
Strategy: But what is it?
essence of a strategy is a design for actions required to meet an important challenge or opportunity. Whether in chess, war, business, or politics, the basic idea is to focus energy and resources where they will do the most good — on the enemy or opponent’s weakness, or where the opportunity for gain is the greatest.
strategy is not a list of aspirations or ambitions, nor is it a list of all the things the committee members think are good ideas.

My Journey with EdTech
2012 2014 Now 2016 2020
Developments over time
• A move to 1:1 devices as it became clear that our strategy was delivering improved outcomes
• With increased use we needed increased CPD for staff on how to effectively embed technology into our teaching to support student learning.
• It’s not technology for technology sake.
• Support staff by doing the heavy lifting and surfacing resources as well as data that will support staff.
• Move away from the “Hero Teacher”
What was the tipping point?
• When staff realised that if they didn’t engage in the use of tech they would either miss out or be less effective than their peers.
• A recognition that tech was supportive and could reduce workload. Fewer meetings, feedback and marking reductions, easier monitoring better outside of the classroom learning.
• An infrastructure that could support the desire to exploit technology.

Sustainability and E - Waste: Our Journey Craig Campion
IT Asset Disposal – A Global Challenge
• Unwanted or surplus PCs, printers, networking, communications and telecoms equipment plus other electronic devices is collectively known as e - waste.
• In 2019, the Global E - Waste Monitor reported that out of 53.6m metric tonnes of e - waste produced worldwide, 82% of it was sent to landfill, incinerated or illegally traded.
• The world collectively is increasing the total e-waste figure by approximately 4% every single year.
