professional competences of teachers, digitally-competent teacher, digitally-competent educationalorganization, digitally-competent school

The utilization rate of e-learning and e-assessment at all school levels goes hand in hand with the ICT (digital)competencies of teachers. Teachers can develop their ICT competencies in specialized courses, undergraduate preparation,further education and/or through informal learning. The development of ICT and its use in education has prompted schoolsto establish the position of ICT coordinator, which, in the majority of cases, is held by one of the teachers. Moreover, it hasalso been proven that the effectiveness of ICT is influenced by particular managerial activities of the school management.Based on an analysis of teacher?s professional standards, teacher?s digital competency standards and the EuropeanFramework for Digitally-Competent Educational Organization the article defines the subjects implementing and supportingthe application of ICT in school using a model of digitally competent school agents. The model makes it possible to identifyspecific areas of preparation for ICT for each participant, taking into account their teaching subjects and the functionexecuted at school. This study is outcome of IRNet project (International Research Network for study and development ofnew tools and methods for advanced pedagogical science in the field of ICT instruments, e-learning and interculturalcompetences), which is co-financed by the European Union in7 th Framework Programme for Research.
