IMPACT

The purpose of the CLC is to add value to learning and teaching through the use of technology by pupils and staff alike.

CLC members of staff have devised a series of impact criteria by which added value is measured.

The core impact criteria

1. Pupils achieve: Every Child Matters agenda: Pupil and teacher feedback reports added value to learning.
2. Pupils enjoy the activities: Every Child Matters agenda: Pupil feedback reports pupil engagement and enjoyment.

Additional impact criteria

1. Statistical: The centre is busy and all 6 learning bases are being used 67% of the time on a daily basis.
2. Activities are curriculum relevant. Curriculum links are stated in workshops and CPD activity.
3. Activities model technology for learning and teaching.
4. Personal, learning and thinking skills are catered for through interactive learning. Workshop planning identifies skills.
5. Activities have an impact on teaching. Teacher feedback indicates the influence an activity will have on future teaching back in school.
6. Wider impact on the school. Through a range of CPD activities school ICT development and use of ICT is supported.
   
7. Impact locally. The CLC contributes to a range of Wirral ICT identified priorities.
8. Impact nationally. The CLC contributes to a range of BECTA priorities.

Accountability

CLC impact on the Wirral’s 120+ schools is reported on to the CLC Governing Body, to the Wirral 14-19 Partnership through the LA Line Manager and through its quarterly Annual Performance Agreement Report to BECTA.
