About the STEPSPlan

This has been developed by Diana Bannister to encourage a common framework and terminology forschool development across the project. This will form the outline of your work as you begin to

collaborate within the Living Schools Lab network. This approach has been based upon the model of

action research, but offers a more practical plan that can be used by the project at many different

levels. During the Advanced Schools workshop in Brussels (17th

and 18th

January 2013) and the

Advanced Practitioner Workshop in April 2013 in Lisbon, Diana Bannister discussed the STEPS plan

and also the need to think about small focussed actionsthat could be documented. This will help us

to collate evidence for the project and enable us to share practice that could be up scaled or

mainstreamed.

The Advanced Schools should then be able to work with the Advanced Practitioners to enable them

to create a STEPS plan that can demonstrate practice classroom level. The Advanced Practitioner

should also select a Focus Theme. Throughout the project, the idea is that the Advanced Schools

work with the Advanced Practitioners to see how their practice can be shared and developed at a

National level, but also as part of the Living Schools Lab network.

It is recommended that the National Co-ordinator works with the Advanced School and the Advanced

Practitioners to identify commonalities between the STEPS and to determine the kinds of support

that could be made available. It would also be useful to consider how the STEPS could addre ss

National priorities.

Your STEPS plan is a working document and should help you to document your progress as you focus

on a specific theme within the project and how you will record whole school level developments. This

will also help to provide information for the Community of Practice and at a later stage for the CaseStudies.

Each Advanced School has already selected their Theme in the LSL project and created a STEPS Plan

to support this. They will share these with you at the Regional Hub Meetings.

Each Advanced Practitioner should now work with their National Co-ordinator to select one of the

LSL Themes featured in the Community of Practice, and complete a STEPS plan in support of the

selected Theme. The Advanced Practitioner will focus on developing their ideas in their classroom

and across their own school. The Advanced Schools may also be able to help you by offering some

ideas or specific training. E.g. If in your STEPS plan you want to develop the use of one to one

devices, your Advanced School may already be an expert in this area and could help you to train

your staff. You will also work and be supported on your selected theme by the Advanced Schoolsin the Community of Practice.

We will then begin to build a picture of the STEPS that are being documented across the network

and work with you to look at how we can co-ordinate the showcasing, demonstration and validation

of practice.

(Something we

know):

Klaipda Gedminai Main Schoolis famous both in the city and

the republic, as the school not being afraid of innovations,

applying innovative decisions for school management,

organization and education, and community outreach using

ICT.

Now, probably the first school in the city launched an

electronic call. For several years, the school community is a

common practice to obtain the most relevant information

from the scoreboard that is hung at the schools lobby. The

school began, as a pilot school, to install the e-daybook, which

raised all teachersICT competence very significantly.

Since 2010, the school operates a centralized office mail,

which greatly enhances the company's internal

communication; accelerate receipt of the information and

communication processes both inside and outside with the

social partners.

Administration of the school uses cloud computing services to
