7 Steps Process

The project has identified 7 steps to improving teaching and learning through the use of ICT

The Seven Steps development process

1. Starting Out (theoretical underpinnings - finding out your starting point)

• Rationale for the use of ICT (relates to values and purposes)
• Philosophy
• Theory - consider success factors
• Pedagogy

2. Agreeing Outcomes 

• The current reality: What's working, what's not and what else is possible? 
• Base line measurements: get data
• Criteria for success: What is possible, desirable and feasible?**

3. Identifying the constraints

• About constraints
• Identifying constraints
• The change process

4. Action Learning

• Knowledge-based improvement: focus and investigate
• Reflecting on experience & prior knowledge

5. PL for embedding ICT in the class program

• Principles of professional learning
• The professional learning cycle

6. Sharing outcomes (and practices)

• Identifying achievements
• Celebrations and sharing
• Transferring and embedding

7. Future improvement projects (and transformative potential)

• Apply the Seven Step process
• Possible projects

**Dealing with the future:

• What is possible and under what conditions?
• What is desirable and why?
• What is feasible, how and when?
