What's the purpose and nature of the organisation(s)?
Naace is the National Association for all the people who wish to advance education through the use of technology, more than just computing.They are a community of schools, teachers, those who work in schools and the Education Technology industry who share a vision for the role of technology in improving and transforming learning and teaching. The members of organisation include teachers, school leaders, advisors and consultants working within and across all phases of UK education.
How are they trying to support innovative practices with IT in schools?Give examples.
1.They intergrate IT technology with primary subject leader courses for computing.This is an extended course over two terms delivered through a blended learning approach including online meetings, moderated online discussions, email contact with the course tutor, online self-study, reading and completion of directed tasks. It has been refreshed and updated to build the skills, knowledge and understanding that subject leaders will need as they prepare for the 2014 Computing Curriculum, as well as for leading the use of technology to develop teaching and learning across the whole primary curriculum.
2.Naace has developed a Self-review Framework (SRF) support course for personnel who are working with schools and within schools to support their progression through the SRF, with special emphasis on how to achieve ICT Mark accreditation.
This course is aimed at schools engaged on the SRF journey but may also be useful to support providers working with a number of schools.
