[Advisory] ICT Subject Knowledge for Primary Teachers

[Miles Berry]

Hi Folks,

Roehampton's School of Education is engaged in a process of reviewing
and revalidating it's BA (QTS) undergraduate primary teacher training
programme at the moment, and so my colleagues and I are looking at the
structure and content of the ICT components of the programme, amongst
much else.

I'd be very interested to have thoughts from fellow Naace members on
what sort of *subject knowledge* of ICT one would expect from a new
entrant to the profession, and particularly for one who had ICT as
their subject specialism as part of a general teacher training
qualification. I suspect it wouldn't be unusual for our ICT subject
specialists to become ICT subject coordinators at a fairly early stage
in their careers.

As these programmes run for a number of years between these validation
exercises, you may wish to get the crystal balls out to do a little
future gazing, as those who join us in September 2010 won't be
starting their NQT year until September 2013.

My thanks in anticipation,

Miles.
