6. Equitable Access
• When we promote the use of digital technologies for
learning how are we catering for those who cannot
afford these things? Do we take into account the ‘end to
end’ issues of device ownership?
• What approaches are we promoting in terms of
ownership of content and use of OERs and CC licensing?
• How can community hubs, such as libraries, be a
integral point of collaboration?

7. Data Driven Organisations
• Big data
• Analytics
• Digital Portfolios
• Interoperability standards
• Evidence driven transformation

9. Data Driven Organisations
• What data do you collect and how do you use it?
• Does it make a difference for young people ad their learning?
• What are the assumptions behind what you collect (and what
you don’t collect), how you analyse it, and how you use the
analysis?
• What protocols do you have about the collection, access and use
of any data to ensure it is safe and people trusting you with it?
• How collaborative is the process - with young people, parents
and whānau, teachers and leaders - in deciding what to collect,
how to use it, how to feedback findings, and protocols?
TECHNOLOGY

10. Community Focus
• Engaging parents and whānau
• Using portfolios
• Two-way interaction
• Effective community participation
STRUCTURAL

11. Community Focus
• How well does the school gather and use information
about the needs, wishes and aspirations of parents,
whānau and the wider community?

children and communicate information about the school?
• How well does the school engage parents and whānau in the
life of the school?
• How well does the school engage with and make use of
community resources, agencies and other educational
institutions?

20. Networked Communities
• How permeable are the boundaries around our communities?
Should we have boundaries at all if we want to encourage engagement
with multiple perspectives to solve our complex problems?
• How can communities put learners in the driving seat, giving them the chance
to socially construct knowledge with each other and adults, and encouraging
them to contest existing knowledge?
• How do our collaborative communities invite and approach local iwi to be
part of vision development and achievement? How might we show interest in
and support iwi initiatives?
• How can we move from being collaborative communities to networked
communities? How will we know when we have succeeded in this?

21. Design Thinking
• Innovation
• Creativity
• Transformation

22. Design Thinking
• How might a disciplined Design Thinking
process float on strong Teaching as
Inquiry processes in your school, kura or
service?
• How can we learn from the ways that
businesses, not-for-profits and other
organisations are currently innovating to
solve complex problems?

23. Change Leadership

• Coaching
• Mentoring

25. Change Leadership
• What processes do you have in place to ensure
parents and whanau are able to make sense
of the education their young person is receiving? How
empowered are they to be represented in the
conversation and decision-making?
• Which elements of leadership in your organisation still
reflect the idea of ‘pyramid-style’ leadership for a slow-
moving world? Which elements reflect the ‘networked,
empowered teams’ approach better suited to a fast-
moving world?
PROCESS

26. Computational Thinking
• Impact of STEM
• Skills for employment vs holistic education
• Play-based curriculum
• Digital Technologies in the curriculum

29. Computational Thinking
• how can we incorporate computational
thinking into an already crowded curriculum?
• how do we train a generation of teachers who
have no background in this sort of thing?
• how will we assess this - and where does it ‘fit’
within our competency framework?

30. Sustainability
• Education for sustainability
• Green waste
• Future focused planning

32. Sustainability
• Think about the purpose of your approach/programme
i.e. What areas of environmental education do you want to
focus on and why?
• How can you formalise environmental education into your learning
centre, school or kura policy and planning?
• What will ensure that your programmes are sustainable? i.e. not
dependent on one or two people to provide energy and expertise in
environmental education.
• Undertake a stock-take of what resources/units/ideas are needed to
create an environmental education programme.
• Think about how your learning centre, school and kura will establish
and maintain links with external environmental groups.

• Inclusion
• Different belief systems
• Multiple languages

35. Diversity
• What one size-fits all approaches are hidden in
the way you do things? What flexible alternatives
could you offer?
• How will you build student, community and staff
understanding of the value of diversity?
• What are you doing to support teachers to build their
understanding and skills to meet the diversity all
students bring to learning?
• How is sensitivity to student diversity guiding the design
of new buildings?

36. Digital Fluency

digitally-fluent-educator.html

37. Digital Fluency
• What might digital fluency look like in the context of your learners’
curriculum experiences now? What do you and your community
want all learners to aspire to be able to do when they leave?
• How are digital fluency learning opportunities aligned to your values and
principles?
• How might you deliberately teach the skills and competencies to
navigate online spaces successfully in the context of student-led
learning?
• To what extent are learning areas explored in ways that invite higher-
order engagement, problem-solving and authentic use of technologies?
Are students doing more than searching for information? Are they
applying it in ways that are real and connected to the world around us?
