3.3 School leaders – Activity 2

Staff survey and digital champions

Make a survey of teachers to find out who has good digital skills.

There is a digital audit template from the Digital Heritage Hub and included in the ‘Further resources’ section that you can adapt and use. It covers topics, such as:

• Computer skills
• Social media
• Web-based communications and searching
• Word processing
• Email and chat
• Basic online security.

You can include AI tools and activities such as those listed in the British Council survey of teachers.

When you have done your survey, could one or two of your teachers be ‘digital champions’ for the school staff?

Could you have a female teacher take this role?

Professional women who are confident to use digital technologies can inspire and motivate girl students to develop their digital skills.

Alternatively, are there professional people, women and men in the community who could support staff development?
