From the CEO Greg Strachan

What’s New in Term One?

Chief Executive Officer

It’s Conference Season!

Welcome back school for 2018. Hopefully, you have had a great break and are fully recharged to take on the New Year.

At New Era, we have been very busy over November, December and January assisting our client schools with numerous ICT projects across the country.

Moving schools to the cloud is a daily occurrence for our technical team. We have been working closely with the Ministry of Education, Microsoft and Google to ensure the very best solutions are put forward and delivered to schools.

Beyond implementing and managing a lot of projects for schools, I am proud to say we have grown our client base (and our team) significantly though 2017.

As an example, we have had nine schools join the New Era client family in January 2018 alone. We wish to extend a warm welcome to our new clients this year.

Our success is based on ensuring our clients are provided sound advice with a pragmatic “Can we do it? Yes, we can” approach that delivers the best outcomes for your school and its students. With technology now being so pervasive and incredibly important in the running of a school, it is critical to understand that no single person can ever have enough knowledge to fully support the myriad of technologies they now utilise. This is why when a school becomes a New Era client they are not just provided with a technician. We wrap layers of support around our client, including technicians, technical team leaders, service desk, engineers and very importantly a dedicated client manager that can translate ‘techo’ into plain English.

Throughout 2018, we will again be heavily supportive of educational conferences such as SPANZ, APPA, Interface and the Google GAFE Summit at Aorere College to name but a few.

We look forward to seeing you all there.

Greg

CEO, New Era IT

New Era IT is proud to support a wide range of conferences and expos in the education sector. The season for conferences is nearly upon us.

One of the first is the Secondary Principals Association of New Zealand (SPANZ) to be held in the ever-popular venue of Queenstown from 18th21st March. Traditionally New Era IT hosts a dinner for our client schools on the Monday night (March 19th) and this year we are expecting over 90 principals for what will be a fun night with pre-dinner drinks at Eichardt’s Hotel and then dinner at Josh Emmett’s award winning “Madam Woo’s” restaurant.

Be sure to come and say hello at our stand, enter our prize draw and discuss any ICT needs that you have this year.

Client Story

Embracing the Future

“Obviously as Educators, we are technically reliant on those businesses which have the specific expertise, and from my experiences I’ve found New Era to be completely transparent, objective and really supportive of where we are at as a school, and where we want to go.”

World-class connectivity and modern tools are enabling Aorere College to transition into a digital-first model for 21st-century learning.

– GREG PIERCE, PRINCIPAL, AORERE COLLEGE

A

orere College has been serving its local community for over 50 years. Seeing the modern classroom as extending beyond the school and it’s timetable, they have a vision for “Globally connected leaders & learners”. As a leader in digital learning, it’s important for students to be able to access learning anywhere, anytime and on any device.

Early Challenges Prior to 2015, connectivity issues continued to cause disruption and hindered the uptake of digital tools in the classroom. Frustration and downtime meant that staff and students no longer trusted wireless infrastructure and were under-served by new tools available for learning.

Business Manager Sandra Bisman puts it more bluntly: “I think I likened it in one meeting to a car without wheels.”

“I was getting hammered to spend lots of money on equipment and at the time our Wi-Fi wasn’t good. So I wasn’t prepared to put more equipment into the school when I was going to get more emails.” A fundamental change was needed and a group of staff got together to do something about it. From there, Aorere Digital’s mission was born.

“We started from the Wi-Fi, and from there it’s just grown.”

The Solution Investing in Connectivity “We’ve now got what we call Wi-Fi beyond the gate,” says Deputy Principal, Stuart Kelly. New Era IT worked closely with the school to implement school-wide Aruba Wi-Fi. Students now have anytime, anywhere access to the Internet while at school through the Network for Learning, with Internet filtering and safety provided by a FortiGate Unified threat management gateway.

“The result is that we’ve invested a lot of money providing a worldclass site for students to access the New Zealand curriculum, and increase their chances of success when they leave Aorere College.”

Investing in the Tools for Learning In 2015, the College encouraged students to bring a device to school that would enhance learning. “Gradually over the last couple of years, we’ve refined that to recommend a Chromebook as the device of choice for our students,” says Principal, Greg Pierce.

The Google Suite provides just what the school needs,” says Kelly.

“We were looking for an education platform that our students could access that was world class and ideally, low cost or free.” At the end of 2015, the school became a Google Apps for Education Accredited Institution, enabling the school to use G-Suite and access additional resources to aid in their journey.

Investing in People But it wasn’t all about the tools “We had the devices, we had the infrastructure but we wanted to make sure that our teachers weren’t just at ease with the G-Suite… but that they were highly efficient practitioners.”

Mr. Pierce says investing in people was important. “Our biggest challenges are up-skilling staff to the level of the Students.” As a result, a differentiated approach to professional development has been applied, with some staff completing the Mind Lab’s postgraduate diploma this year, and others just beginning their digital journey.

Aorere College’s influence as a digital leader extended beyond the school’s gates when it was selected to host the 2017 EdTech Team Google for Education summit. Hosting over 500 educators over three days, the summit was a fantastic opportunity to showcase their hard work and innovative approach to learning.

A Team Effort Having a strong team and a clear path forward was important for the school. As the ICT partner of Aorere College, New Era IT is a core part of that team.

“Obviously as Educators, we are technically reliant on those businesses which have the specific expertise, and from my experiences I’ve found New Era to be completely transparent, objective and really supportive of where we are at as a school, and where we want to go.”

“It’s actually been quite transformative,” says Kelly. “We have 13-yearolds building games, creating websites, Makey-Makey projects and they are our best advertisers. He says that the approach to Digital Transformation at Aorere College is about more than better grades and better learning. “It’s about lifting a community”.  See More: Video Story: www.newerait.co.nz/case-studies/ For more information about New Era IT and our ICT services for schools, visit newerait.co.nz/it-services For more information about Aorere Digital, visit www.aorere.ac.nz

Asking the important Questions:

Examining People and Policy

I

was taught that policy is an organisation’s overarching guidance and principles, which are clearly different from procedures. Procedures, on the other hand, are what we actually use on a day-to-day basis to support policy. Procedures can be refined and redefined as circumstances change.

A classic example of this is Cyber Safety. I have seen countless rewrites of Cyber Safety or ICT “policy”, which to me appear to have actually been rewrites of procedure instead, often to adapt to changes like social media or BYOD. Boards of Trustees are required to review school policies relatively regularly. Depending on how things are going, these reviews may have varying influence over the actual procedure of this policy, and what that looks like at an operational level.

Putting Policy before Procedure My point here is that policy is ‘the real guts of it’. A policy is the ‘why’, the foundation. The policy is a map to go back and check on when we lose our way or are confused by the procedures that we have created to make it a reality. I’ll come back to this, but first, let us briefly talk about humans.

Good, Great, Bad and Worse There is no doubt that we all go through good and bad times in our personal and professional lives. Often this can be when we are put under pressure at school, perhaps when there is an event that places a significant strain on leadership and staff.

Of course, it is just my opinion, but this is when we see the real “ilk” of a person or organisation. I love the word “ilk” and although not pure in its use, in this context it speaks to a type of person that remains calm and in control even in the toughest of times. To borrow a musical term, they demonstrate a certain “timbre” - a distinctive tone and manner that differentiates itself from others.

This measure applies to teams and organisations too. I have heard some rather wise people comment that a school is best judged by how it deals with the difficult times - how does it support its community, students and teachers when things get tough?

On the negative side of this (I hold no judgement here because I have yet to meet an innocent party - including myself at times), we see certain behaviours that are less than desirable from organisations and individuals when the proverbial is hitting the fan.

Those of you who have management experience may recognise some or all of the following behaviours or statements: • • • • • • • •

“Not my problem, it’s not in my job description!”

Pointing the blame at others including loved ones and ‘the government’ Yelling Crying Yelling and crying at the same time Humming “Little Donkey” quietly in the corner with hands over their ears whilst moving in a rocking motion A complete shut-down and total non-communication My favourite (and most relevant to this article) catch cry is: “It’s not policy!”

A well-thought-out policy has a clear symbiosis with its procedure those moments where you say. “Oh yeah… I see why we do that!”.

Is this symbiosis easy to achieve? I’d argue that most of the time it is definitely not.

The instinctive reaction that causes procedural decisions to be made based on fear, risk and consequence is strong. It is much harder to stop, consider, filter out the noise, and only then decide upon the appropriate response based on what you fundamentally stand for (which should also be reflected in your policies). As the literature puts it, “double-loop” learning (or the process of fundamentally examining ‘the why’) is time-consuming and often requires individuals and groups to cast aside their preconceptions in order for that learning to be successful.

Over the years I’ve seen both very good, and very bad examples in New Zealand schools. Places where procedure rules and policy simply becomes a legislative requirement. However, I have also seen schools that celebrate the fundamental tenets of their school and community values through policy and the resulting procedural decisions that are made to support them.

‘Asking yourselves “What will best serve our kids and learning community?” can result in some pretty tough decisions, but if we don’t try, we can easily create a ‘groundhog day’ that can not only have massive financial repercussions but a fundamentally detrimental effect on learning outcomes.’

As educational leaders, specifically in terms of ICT in schools, I implore and encourage you to take this stance. First, ask the policy questions about everything ranging from procurement to personnel, and then focus on how your procedures will best ensure success.

Take the fear, preconceptions and baggage out of it. Asking yourselves “What will best serve our kids and learning community?” can result in some pretty tough decisions, but if we don’t try, we can easily create a ‘groundhog day’ that can not only have massive financial repercussions but a fundamentally detrimental effect on learning outcomes.

At New Era, we pride ourselves on helping you make transparent decisions based on what you want to achieve in your school. We have the perspective to offer insight on choices that are being made, without being influenced by history, politics or agenda.

Ultimately, as an organisation, we are only successful when our schools are successful. We are constantly working to evaluate and evolve our own policy (then procedures) to ensure that this happens. Talk to us about helping make the right ICT decisions that reflect your policy. We can worry about the procedures soon after.
