Evaluate: Let’s take stock
The onset of major global disruption pushed educators everywhere into what could best be described as ‘a digital scramble’.
Every last teacher worked tirelessly to pivot as quickly and as effectively as possible to meet the educational, social and support needs of their students. Every school leader became acutely aware of the need to also meet the expectations of parents and the investments they’re making in their children's education.
While the shift has largely been completed, every school and classroom fared a little differently. Discover where your organisation is sitting on the curve – and how to move forward.
Beyond the crisis: Navigating a digital future for Australian schools
This exclusive Evaluation guide is purpose built to help Australian educators assess their digital landscape.

Choose the scenario that best describes your journey to date:
-
Scenario 1: Device Disparity
In the rapid shift to remote learning and digital classrooms, many educators discovered that technology became the new ‘lowest common denominator’. This immediately restricted the functionality, security and adaptability of the various environments teachers were able to deliver within.
What to do now:
1. Audit your technology landscape.
2. Understand the limitations of your devices.
3. Prioritise key actions to improve management and learning.
Where to get started: -
Scenario 2: Manual Processes
From logging on to checking up, many IT departments were quickly forced into an endless game of ‘tech support catch up’ as outdated manual processes and a lack of remote management tools served to slow response times and also open up security risks.
What to do now:
1. Audit your bottlenecks and risks.
2. Understand the limitations and risks of your infrastructure.
3. Prioritise key actions to centralise processes and enable remote management.
Where to get started: -
Scenario 3: The Analogue gap
Many educators have realised the enormous work required to ‘digitise’ the learning experience for many subjects. This presents an incredible opportunity to re-engineer a common set of lesson plans and resources that can work equally effectively in person or virtually.
What to do now:
1. Conduct workshops to map current limitations of digital platforms.
2. Research technology solutions for long-term effective teaching and learning.
3. Request expert recommendations for technologies, training and teaching.
Where to get started:

This is not a drill: multiple challenges met by digital response
First, asbestos closed 15 classrooms overnight at Monaro High School. Then came a summer of bushfire threats. The Covid pandemic pushed the leadership to accelerate the digital transformation planned for the school, putting it ahead of the curve in the state-wide scramble to remote learning.
