  5. To reduce the administrative burden on schools, we are embedding a school-centric delivery approach School-centric delivery is… + A set of principles Supporting tools School time counts Master schedule Change-free periods Change targets Delivery meetings With schools, not to schools Take the time to get it right Coordinate and prioritise as one … a way of working to reconnect with our schools and improve the quality and coordination of our work

  6. We have introduced a master schedule to improve visibility, planning and coordination in the DoE 8

  7. We have also introduced change-free periods 19 41 Potential change roll-out weeks Schools weeks per year 5 17 Very busy BAU weeks Change-free weeks To accommodate busy periods in schools, we have identified 17 weeks in the school year where the DoE will avoid introducing any new changes to schools Note: a change is any activity that is not self-explanatory and requires training or on-boarding for schools to understand or use it.

  8. What does this look like for teams delivering change? Plan & prioritise Design, pilot & iterate Train & implement Embed & monitor 1 2 3 4 • Consult with schools on their pain points • Define outcomes and how schools will benefit • Estimate time impact • Coordinate and prioritise within and across divisions using master schedule • Design change with and for schools • Pilot change • Iterate based on feedback and take the time to get it right • Verify time impact • Clearly communicate change to schools • Ensure appropriate training and support to embed change • Deliver change • Establish monitoring and evaluation • Determine if outcomes are being delivered and refine as needed • Ensure change is embedded in DoE and with schools

  9. School time matters and we are counting every hour we save Since Jan 2018, we have saved: 67 hours per principal 2 hours per teacher 156 hours per school 345,000 hours across the system 10 hours per admin staff School time counts. We are tracking every hour we give back to schools to focus on their core business of teaching, leading and supporting our students
