ICT Skill Sets
Clear expectations for teaching staff will provide the guidelines for de- termining the necessary skill set required for a given staff member. The deter- mining factor in establishing these expectations will be the number of years of teaching experiencing with in the district. We can not assume new teach- ers will come into the school district possessing all the necessary technology skill sets in order to successfully implement ICT in the classroom. This is why it is important to clear identify what is expected of first year, intermediate and continuing contract teaching staff in the area of ICT skill sets.
First year and Part Time teachers (Survival Level)
Second year teachers (Integration Level)
Example:
All second year teachers will be required to demonstrate the integration of the following hardware, software and program procedures into existing teach- ing practices: (This expectation is under the assumption the staff member can successfully and consistently implement the first year teacher ICT require- ments.) This would be an appropriate level to encourage the use of the school computer labs and resources.
