Teachers often wish they had an extra pair of hands, especially when they find the keyboard has shed some of its letters, a student can't find the app they need on their tablet, and the printer is on the blink.
There is now an approach being employed by many schools to give teachers that extra help. It is called the digital leaders programme and offers many advantages to the school, the learners and to the wider community.
Students selected as digital leaders can help to embed the use of technology across the school. They attend regular meetings, support other pupils, teach members of staff, run assemblies and other whole-school events and lead on improvements in e-safety provision. It is a very high-profile and challenging role and it can work in many different ways.
