Home > ICT Mark ICT MarkAre you sharing your success with others? Celebrate putting technology at the heart of learning! Naace has a key role in the development and delivery of the ICT Mark working with our partner, the awarding body, Becta. The ICT Mark is an accreditation for schools who have reached nationally agreed levels within the Becta self-review framework. The ICT Mark is an accreditation scheme available across the UK which recognises schools achieving a good standard of mature and effective use of technology. Schools holding the ICT Mark have demonstrated that they are committed to using technology to improve their overall effectiveness and efficiency. They are more likely to be regarded as good or outstanding by Ofsted, and are able to demonstrate the impact of their investment in technology. They are also better qualified to share their strengths with other schools. Evidence gathered to support accreditation can also be used to support the school self-evaluation framework used by Ofsted. |
 Featured articleICT Mark: Streamlined approach to assessmentThe streamlined approach is designed for schools with ‘good’ ICT. In such a school, there is likely to be less need to use the self-review framework as a development tool so the focus for them might be to have their self-review validated by an external assessor through a more streamlined approach. The assessment process is exactly the same for all schools; it is simply the preparation/approach that is streamlined. There do however still remain strong arguments for completing the full self-review framework and not taking advantage of the streamlined offer. The self-review framework is a powerful tool with a lot of support and this is set to get stronger and stronger as it is updated over time. All schools will want to continue to develop their ICT long after their ICT Mark assessment visit and the tool provides an excellent vehicle for this. Latest entries in this section
