At St Francis de Sales Catholic School, Clifton where I have applied to do my practicum this year, the use of computers to enhance learning plays an important part in delivering the curriculum. By incorporating ICTs within the classroom environment as well as providing a developmental, activity based curriculum St Francis de Sales Catholic School aims to provide for the needs of the whole child in order to foster a readiness for learning in all areas.
With a commitment to following the National Curriculum guidelines, whilst applying knowledge of children’s developmental stages, early literacy and numeracy skills remain an important part of curriculum provision at St Francis de Sales Catholic School. These skills are explored by providing a rich programme in a stimulating environment where optimum learning experiences remain the focus of pedagogical practices.
With an awareness of the need to encourage, nurture and provide experiences for students that will promote a love of learning, delivering the best possible educational experiences for student’s remains at the forefront of my developing pedagogical practices and I believe this can be achieved by incorporating ICTs. How and why you may ask? My answer can be found above – enjoy!
