3rd Millennium Learning Award
Third Millennium Learning Award
The aim of the 3rd Millennium Learning Award is to enable schools to demonstrate how they are providing an education fit for the 21st century. It celebrates schools' achievements in creating an environment and curriculum that stimulate more and better learning, making full use of the opportunities presented by technology.
This is a peer-referenced Award, with no set criteria, as schools enable their pupils to experience 3rd Millennium Learning in very diverse ways. Judgement of the submissions by schools for the Award is made by a ‘college’ of schools that have already gained the Award and the Award Steering Group comprised of 3rd Millennium Learning Guides who have demonstrated understanding of the ‘Dimensions’ of 3rd Millennium Learning approaches, by review of a range of both primary and secondary schools that have gained the Award.
Naace hopes and expects that by sharing the experiences of schools that the extent and quality of 3rd Millennium Learning and the significantly raised achievement of pupils that results will spread and grow.
The 3rd Millennium Learning Award first stage pilot compilation video can be found here.

The above school pages describe the nature of the schools that have gained the Award and outline points to watch for when viewing their video submissions. These illustrate how their pupils are experiencing 3rd Millennium Learning.
The Commentaries associated with each of these submissions are available to Naace members here.
The publicly available video submissions have been created for an audience of parents and the school’s community, and should be viewed in that light. To gain the Award, the schools have supported their parent videos with educational commentaries; these are available to members on the Naace website. The “points to note when watching the parent video” have been contributed by Award Steering Group members, to help you notice things that have been taken into account in making the Award.
A key part of the pilot phases, and the Award itself, is to make visible how schools are implementing 3rd Millennium Learning and to develop and extend understanding of what should be encompassed by this term. Our current working definition is through a number of ‘dimensions’ of change in the nature of learning that we expect to see – and which these schools exemplify well.
At present a second stage pilot is underway and all places have been allocated. Those involved in the second stage pilot can access details here - www.naace.co.uk/ThirdMLASecondStagePilot.
The scheme will go live for all schools holding the ICT Mark in September 2012.
