Digital Transformation Toolkit
Digital Transformation Toolkit (DTT) is a powerful auditing tool that has been designed to allow schools and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) to assess all elements of digital transformation in one place; identifying the key criteria to support the successful implementation of digital technologies to effectively support all aspects of a school community.
This self-assessment toolkit is split into six key parts with approximately 70 questions in total. It should take roughly 30 minutes to complete the online form. We strongly recommend you read through the DTT questions before completing the form; this will allow you (with the rest of the Senior Leadership Team) to think through your answers in advance.
Accessibility and Learning Tools
There is no limit to what students can achieve when technology reflects the diversity of all who use it. Whether it is in school or at home, Assistive tools are built it, to make learning more accessible and promote positive engagement.
