KS3 Tests scrapped for 14-year-olds

Massive change for schools but what are the implications for us in ICT?http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/7669254.stm

Will it affect our target setting? Some schools use FFTand the English, Maths and Science KS3 tests to set their targets at KS4. What will it mean to you in your school. Do email or add an comment and tells us. 

CPD for you

The last Strategy Advisers Network meeting focussed on staff CPD. All of you have an entitlement to, and a responsibility to undertake CPD.  Look at the Professional Standards for Teachers on page 3, paragraph 8 which states, “All teachers should have a professional responsibility to be engaged in effective, sustained and relevant professional development throughout their careers and all teachers should have a contractual entitlement to effective, sustained and relevant professional development throughout their careers.”   What do you want this to look like? How do you want it structured? Where do you want to do it? You need to start thinking about the answers to these questions. Please add your comments or emails us your feelings.   

Networks 

Wendy Styles, our new ICT Adviser is meeting OCR representative Matthew Neivens on the 6^th November as a precursor to setting up an official OCR Network with the Nationals as the main focus. This will start early in the Spring term 2009. We will keep you posted. The DiDA Network has got quieter over the last few sessions. What do the teachers of DiDA want to do about this? Teachers of other exams could respond here as well. Do you want meetings and contact details between the relevant schools involved in your exam? Please email or add your comments on these subjects.
