[senit] Skills Checklist & Staff Audit

Hi David,

I tried to post this last night but it bounced.
The skills checklist I used at Priory Woods can be downloaded from here:

m

You might need to copy and paste that.
It's a bit old but together with some of Richard's suggestions, it will give
you start on something specific to your school.

I did have a skills audit sheet I used for a few years with PW staff. It was
double sided. On one side I had a series of statements... 'I can set up a
switch to work with the computer' with a 1 (I can't do this) to 10 (Easy
Peasy) scale. The other side listed all the neat ICT stuff that staff might
be interested in learning about. 'Making a movie...' 'Creating an audio
track with sequencer'. Staff completed the forms and handed them back. I
collated the info which gave me an indication of staff skill levels together
with suggestions of workshops I could run for them.

This was incredibly successful. I ran over 150 hours of ICT training in
three years - all voluntary after school twilights. Staff took control over
their own professional development. I'll see if I can find a copy and send
it to you. You can always update it.

Good luck

Ian

Hi what do people use to audit staff ICT skills. The
Becta stuff seems to be at a general rather than
specific level, and the NOF audits I have seen seemed
to be adapting mainstream educational ICT needs to SEN
as a bolt on process though maybe some were better
than others? Is there anything around that audits
ability to use ICT in SEN education with the students
rather than as a teacher admin tool-eg from early
levels - eg being able to log on, run simple software-
through to able to select appropriate software-to make
simple powerpoints & to select appropriate access
methods- up to creates more advanced multimedia etc
etc?
David
