The W.A.T.T Quality Mark operates in a similar way to
the kite mark system and is applied to educational Design and Technology
websites. It is simply a mark of quality that can be displayed
with schemes of work or project work. It demonstrates that a scheme of
work/project has been internally assessed through the use of a criteria
set out by the
World Association
of Technology Teachers. The majority of the criteria should have
been met before sending an email to
watt@teacher.com. The email should describe the nature of the work
internally assessed, the name and location of the school. The quality mark can then be applied as there is
no need to wait for a reply. The internal assessment will be recorded by W.A.T.T.
Benefits: During
inspections it is important to show that departmental
schemes/projects/documentation etc....have been thoroughly researched and
if possible assessed internally and that all members of a department have
had the opportunity to contribute.
Application for a W.A.T.T. Quality Mark is straightforward and free.
