ICT Certificate: advice for reviewers

Can I become an ICT Certificate reviewer?

You can review and accredit ICT Certificates if you have a current Digital Pedagogy Licence or Digital Pedagogy Licence Advanced.

As the ICT Certificate emphasises curriculum and planning, principals or their delegates may work in partnership with licence holders.

Whose ICT Certificate can I review?

It's recommended to accredit teachers from within your school. By doing so, you can build upon existing collegial relationships, strengthening the shared culture of the school.

You may also be asked to review ICT Certificates at neighbouring schools, building lateral capacity and networking between teachers and schools.

What's my role?

As a reviewer, you will need to determine that a teacher's planning and practice aligns with the ICT Certificate indicators.

To encourage and support accreditations, follow these steps:

Familiarise yourself with the ICT Certificate indicators
Be available to support teachers to develop their digital portfolios or prepare for professional conversations
Review the digital portfolio or conduct the professional conversation
Both you and the teacher navigate the myframework application to complete the accreditation process
Celebrate the success with the teacher and share with the school community

Guidelines for teachers, Digital Pedagogy Licence holders and principals are available on the ICT Certificate web page.

What's next?

Supporting teachers to attain their ICT Certificate is just the first step in their digital pedagogy journey.

The Smart Classrooms Professional Development Framework is a professional learning guide that can be used to inform and guide developing performance conversations and goal setting.

Teachers working together to attain accreditations with the PD Framework, supports the deprivatisation of teaching by encouraging reflective practices and facilitating conversations explicitly linked to improving practice.

How do I award the ICT Certificate?

What's in it for me?
