Sheffield ICT Best Practice Awards – coming to you soon!

There’s a lot of great practice going on around the city – wouldn’t it be wonderful if it could be shared and celebrated?

Well, that’s the aim of the Best Practice Awards, organised by Sheffield Inclusion & Learning Service and supported by the 5 Sheffield CLCs. Leading towards an awards ceremony here at the centre in October, entries are invited in any of 6 categories:

  1. Leadership and Vision: Demonstrating leadership by creatively implementing the school’s vision for the use of technology across the curriculum, school and school community
  2. Creativity: Working creatively, taking the initiative and seizing opportunities to look beyond established thinking. Identifying new possibilities and opportunities to integrate the use of technology across the school community
  3. Teaching and Learning in Practice: Creating a climate for teaching and learning in the classroom supported by the integrated use of technology which is characterised by enthusiasm for learning, high expectations, and outstanding learner outcomes
  4. Peer Support: Engaging other colleagues, parents and teaching assistants in developing their understanding of and skills in technology to support learning and development
  5. Personal CPD: Showing a continuing commitment to his or her own professional learning and personal development
  6. Beyond the Classroom: As a champion of technology how does this teacher take the role of technology beyond the classroom to the life of the school and school community.

To help you (and encourage you) to enter, SWCLC staff will guide you through the process. The nomination process is designed to be straight-forward and not time consuming.

Promising entries will also be supported to try for the  Becta Award for Next Generation Learning at the Teaching Awards.

If you wish to nominate someone in your school, or wish to nominate a project you are working on yourself, please contact Dave at the CLC (dave@nwsclc.net) or Helen Smith, Senior ICT Consultant at Sheffield L&IS (Helen.smith@sheffield.gov.uk).

Good luck!
