This text should help readers to improve the development of IT capability through understanding the factors at work in whole school contexts. Based on research which examined schools' approaches to the development of pupils' IT capability and identified the factors which lead to success, it provides practical advice, but with clear justifications in terms of well-researched principles and illustrations. It covers issues specific to both primary and secondary phases of education together with a range of common concerns and should be of use to practitioners and school staff involved in planning and delivering IT training.
