It has been designed to identify key criteria to support the successful implementation of digital technologies to effectively support all aspects of a school community. The toolkit provides automated reporting with a data dashboard of the results, complete with the ability to track change over time. In addition, the report includes automated signposting to high-quality and relevant support material, that will help ensure any school engaging with the toolkit makes further progress and maximises the impact of LGfL services.  Take the DTT Survey       LGfL's Univeral Design for Learning (UDL) Pilot Project We are looking for schools interested in getting involved in our Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Pilot Project.
