ePotential Overview
The Teacher ICT Capabilities survey has been designed for measuring the ICT capabilities of active teachers. To maintain the integrity of this survey, non-teaching staff such as principals, admin staff and office staff should not respond to the survey. For staff with non-teaching roles, the Non-Teaching ICT Capabilities survey has been developed. The non-teaching version of the survey is designed under a different framework and does not fit within the ePotential Continuum. School leaders will decide which survey is appropriate for each member of staff. Information on which survey is most suitable for your staff members to take can be found in the ePotential User Guide: ePotential Survey. It is recommended that teachers complete the Survey at the beginning of the school year. After completing the survey (approx 20 mins) results will appear highlighted within the Continuum.
