Are you Grappling With Technology vs. Learning Outcomes?

With our combined experience of 45 years in NZ schools, we have noticed these challenges that schools are commonly experiencing:

Schools have spent significant funds on buying and maintaining ICT equipment, but the learning outcomes achieved through technology are often disproportionately low.

Due to the highly diverse needs of our learners, some student needs often go unmet. With the additional challenge, constantly changing technology solutions, like AI, can sometimes be more of a problem than a solution.

Schools are under immense pressure to deliver better outcomes with reduced resources and no more MoE funded PLD.

These challenges impact the health and well-being of students and teachers alike.

Imagine a school environment where technology empowers both teachers and students, leading to exceptional learning outcomes. But for many New Zealand Kura, the reality is a struggle. We see schools that have invested heavily in ICT equipment yet grapple with disproportionately low learning outcomes from that technology. The diverse needs of learners often go unmet, and the promise of constantly changing technology solutions, like AI, can sometimes feel more overwhelming than helpful.

The good news is that the Learning First team has considered this carefully and is inviting schools to collaborate with us in an innovative partnership that mitigates many of these chronic challenges.
