Teacher Digital Skills Toolkit
Context
This document aims to help teachers evaluate their own digital literacy skills and identify strengths or next steps for developments. It is part of Education Scotland’s digital skills series of documents and is aligned to the Scottish Government strategy for Digital learning and teaching (2016) and focuses on upskilling educators, supporting leaders and developing and delivering digital literacy in the curriculum.
This toolkit has been developed in partnership with local authorities and teachers. It aligns with the UK Government Essential digital skills framework, referenced in the Scottish Government’s digital strategy: A Changing Nation (p52 Lloyds Consumer Index Survey), and the European Digital Competence Framework for Citizens and Education.
Teacher digital skills
The knowledge and skills in this document can be read as examples of digital literacy as found in the GTCS standards, such as using devices, working with colleagues and communicating with learners. Teachers should evaluate themselves with online checklist or the table in appendix ii and then identify areas to develop. The table can be used to gather evidence of what you are doing, how well you are doing it and what you need to do next.
Education Scotland has aligned its digital skills training and professional learning with this document. Some of the features of devices and platforms are managed by local authorities, such as email, and therefore we cannot provide specific support with this – please seek local authority support where this is the case.
