To be able to achieve a successful digitalization plan as possible for your school, it helps to perform a baseline analysis. Our specialists have extensive experience in this and are happy to help. Each school is unique, therefore we customize all analyses. With the heart in the classroom.

Baseline Analysis

We begin with a preliminary meeting with the school management where our education specialist explains how a current-state analysis is conducted and what the school can gain from the results. The actual analysis involves conducting interviews with the school management, educators, and pupils. We are interested in understanding how the school uses its digital devices and systems, with a focus on the student. The day the interviews are conducted starts with the education specialist first meeting the principal and then meeting with educators and pupils separately according to the different stages of the school. The day ends with a meeting with the school management again to ensure alignment and possibly ask some additional questions.

Baseline Analysis

During the classroom and online, iPad and Mac easily integrate into educational environments of all kinds. Apple technology is indeed designed to be intuitive and easy not only to use, but also to manage.

Thanks to Apple School Manager and flexible deployment models, you will be able to include, depending on your needs, personal devices, shared iPads, and laboratory Macs.

From today, you can also integrate Google Workspace and Microsoft Azure Active Directory to allow students to log in with the credentials they already know.

Report

Once the interviews are completed, the education specialist creates a report that is then used in the feedback to the school management. The report focuses on vision, culture, skills, teams, school community and measurement and is based on the book ‘Essential Elements of Leadership’. In the report, I have identified areas that we know are important for a school to succeed in working with digital devices and there are also actions for the school to develop.

Many questions are about how the school management is working to lead digitalisation, the questions to educators and students concern creativity and daily use. We also talk about the teaching flow between teacher and pupil linked to information, feedback and user-friendliness.

Optimisation of Investment

Many schools have invested heavily in digital devices and systems and our mission is to ensure that our customers get the best possible value for money. It's important that school management and staff know what the possibilities are and that students are allowed to use their devices to reach their full potential. One question we often get when we talk to school management is: How do I get more people on board? For us, it's about equity, ensuring that all pupils have the same opportunities regardless of which teacher is responsible for teaching in the classroom. By analysing the current situation, it is possible to identify what measures are needed and in what order they need to be implemented.

Effect and Results

It normally takes a term to a school year before you can see a clear effect. It's all about the school management and staff daring to invest and believing that the school can be developed. Once we have conducted a few customised Apple Professional Learning sessions, things tend to happen in the classrooms. More and more teachers dare to try it out and the school management can lean back on the development plan that we have helped them create. The advantage of conducting a baseline analysis is that you, as a principal, get a solid overall picture of the digital situation in your school. The report you receive from us will be a tool and a guide to use in the continued development work. We are present and can create a development plan with measures that we know will have an effect and be present as a support for the school management throughout the process.
