3.17 Embedding ICT in teacher practice
Back |
Description
The project, Embedding ICT in teacher practice, recognises that teachers in our system are at various points along the ICT continuum. This project is designed to meet individual teacher needs through a process of identifying teachers who require additional support, pinpointing exactly what their ICT professional learning needs are, and addressing these needs in a targeted way. The project aims to build capacity and confidence in teachers, and will focus specifically on effective use of ICT in quality pedagogy.
