Last week the NSW Primary Principals Association, 2019 Annual Conference was held at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth. This year’s inspiring theme: Building Us.
Technology has broken new barriers to bring data, people and organisations together. It is safe to say that we live in a fast-evolving environment and education is moving with it.
It’s easy to consider wider factors when you’ve suddenly found yourself red-faced in a culturally awkward situation and everything becomes crystal clear.
For decades many organisations and educational institutions relied heavily on physical servers to store data, communicate with each other and access resources easily.
Technology has impacted almost every aspect of life today, and education is no exception. School IT administrators, principals and teachers are acutely aware of the need to rise to the demands of ever-evolving technology to ensure they work smarter, faster and are able to seamlessly run a school management system.
91% of teachers in NSW reported administrative demands were a major hindrance to their core job according to a University of Sydney survey conducted in July 2018.
Education software exists to drive the education industry to greater efficiency, so it can be said teachers of today are being empowered by technology more than ever before to help develop student academic performance.
School staff tell us that managing, administering and dispensing prescribed medications for students in their care requires staff training and a forensic level of administration and attention to detail.
For any school to provide the best possible learning environment for all students, the thorny issue of managing and improving student day-to-day behaviour needs to be addressed.
