Identify where you are in the phases in each dimensionBased on some of the assessments you looked into

during the last topic, choose one or two of the most important dimensions to focus on at a time

Mark your current position inside these dimensions as either Emerging, Engaging, Enabling, or Empowering

Determine what the progress will look like moving beyond your current phase

For example: You will move from Emerging to Engaging in Professional Learning by first raising awareness of ICT’s and then trial and begin to use these ICT’s in your context.

Plan for the steps ahead

Develop a short and long term action plan with realistic timeframes

Identify key actions and processes that can be measured

Determine roles and responsibilities of staff

Provide adequate support to staff who may still be developing their skills and understandings in a pre-emerging phase

Determine how and when you will reflect on and monitor progress during and at the end of each stage

Action

This might include:

Introducing new technologies into the classroom

Co-creating with the staff and/or students the criteria required to ensure success using specific tools.

How will these tools support specific learning needs?

Upgrading connectivity or hardware

Further exploration of what other schools are doing as it fits in with your focus on a specific dimension.
