Digital Fluency

Ko te ahurei o te tamaiti arahina ō tātou mahi

Let the uniqueness of the child guide our work

2023 Digital Fluency PLD Project

In 2023, our cluster will undertake a MOE PLD project focused on Digital Fluency.  In addition to raising the digital fluency of our RTLB practitioners, we are excited to invite teachers and staff from our cluster schools to join us on this journey.

If you would like to take part, get in touch with your Liason RTLB today!

Goal 1

Raise digital fluency skills and confidence for at-risk and neurodiverse learners to increase engagement in classroom programmes that traditional means cannot support:

• Raise capability of students to use digital tools to their full potential across the curriculum, while supporting teachers and RTLB to open up new possibilities to support this. 

• Improve computational thinking skills (algorithmic thinking, decomposition, pattern recognition) and embed these across the wider curriculum.

Goal 2

Increasing expectations of staff working with at risk students so they are better able to meet the needs of learners.

• Undertaking practitioner research into how digital technologies can increase engagement and inclusive practices for learners and teachers.

• Gathering student and teacher voice to measure impact of interventions, so students ‘see themselves’ as active and positive learners.
