2. Karakia Tīmatanga
Unuhia te pō te pō whiri mārama
Tomokia te ao te ao whatu tāngata
Tātai ki runga
Tātai ki raro
Tātai aho rau
Haumie hui e tāiki e!
From the conclusion comes
understanding
From the understanding comes unity
We are interwoven, we are
interconnected
Together as one!
3. Trends… not predictions
Trends are particularly helpful in times of uncertainty.
Organizational anxiety can spread fast and cause leaders and teams to make poor
decisions. Without concrete answers to questions about the future, anxiety grows.
It's a vicious, terrible cycle.
Our goal right now isn't predictions. It's preparation for what comes next. We must
shift our mindset from making predictions to being prepared.
Trends are waypoints to help anticipate future states in a world where uncertainty
looms. Use them to examine your assumptions, cherished beliefs and expectations
for the future using a bolder, more holistic perspective.
This year it will be harder to do that, but it’s essential.
4. 15 Years on…
• An opportunity to review what
we’ve been writing about, and to
consider the impacts we’ve seen in
education.
• A chance to consider the ‘long view’
and where these trajectories might
take us into the future.
6. Ubiquity
Occurring independent of the
boundaries of time or place
Connectedness
Acknowledging our complete
interdependence as humans
Agency
Having choices and the ability to act
on those choices
Equity
Diversity
Humanity
7. TECHNOLOGY

The pervasive nature of change that occurs when a new
technology is introduced – it is not additive, it is ecological.

9. TECHNOLOGY
• How would you describe the key drivers for technology use in your
organisation? In what ways is this reflected in your organisation’s strategic
goals and values?
• How is your school strategically planning for the rapid advancement of
technology that can support learning for your students? What systems do
you have in place that can identify new advancements that support
educational organisations?
• What steps are you, your staff and community taking to ensure you are
keeping up to date about technological developments, so that you are able
to make informed decisions about future technological investment and
programmes of learning in your organisation?
• Who do you currently rely on for these insights? How do you assess their
potential impact on your work with learners?

Learner agency

Cultural Narratives
Wellbeing
The product of the beliefs, perceptions, relationships,
attitudes, and written and unwritten rules that shape and
influence behaviour. Organizational culture is a reflection
of its leaders’ culture, ethics (or lack of them) and
consciousness.
11. CULTURE
When the things you say and the things you do (actions) are in
alignment with what you actually believe (values), a thriving
culture emerges. So great organisational culture results from
putting into practice what we say we believe and value as
important. (Sinek)

• Treaty of Waitangi

12. CULTURE
• To what extent do your organisation’s values and the practices
that stem from them resonate with the issues and trends
identified in this trend?
• In what ways is your organisation or setting ‘inclusive’? Are the
articles of the Treaty of Waitangi evident in your organisational
values and in the culture that exists?
• To what extent is the voice of your students and of your
community effective in helping determine the culture of your
setting? How is this happening? In what areas could it be
improved?

In business terms, process is a collection of related, structured
activities or tasks that produce a specific outcome. Simply put,
process may be understood as ‘the way we do things’
14. PROCESS
Consider
• Our management of how learners progress through their time
in schools
• Our recording of and reporting on progress and achievement
• Our approach to funding learners and their learning

• Which of the trends and issues in this theme have already
impacted on your practice as an educator and/or on the way
your organisation ‘gets things done’?
• How is data being used in your learning setting to empower
both learners and teachers, and to reduce the administrative
workload for everyone?
• How is the learning journey of your students managed at
present? Who ‘owns’ this - why? How is the evidence of
learning collected and verified?
• What evidence of design thinking and/or gamification exists in
your setting? Is it fundamentally changing some of the ways
things are done in your setting?

Networked communities
Advanced networks and ‘loops’
Community focus
The ‘smart web’
Private Public Partnerships
Alternative forms of assessment
Ubiquitous computing
Communities of learning
Learning ecologies
Virtual Learning
Schools as part of community
Changing role of the teacher
Educational institutions are by nature, very reliant on the
structures that give them their identity and serve to support
what they do and the way they do it.
21. STRUCTURE
Some of the structures we work within…
• Buildings and classrooms
• Classes and timetables
• Teachers and roles
• Curriculum and subjects
• Autonomous ‘schools’
The very structures that support our system also fail many of our
learners - making the need to address these concerns a matter
of equity above everything else.

23. STRUCTURE
• What are the key drivers behind decisions made in your setting
around curriculum (e.g. subjects taught), use of time,
allocation of tasks to teachers, design and use of learning
spaces, etc.?
• How might you, as a staff and your community, work to better
understand that addressing issues around structure are critical
to achieving greater equity in our system and in your setting?
• How might greater use of virtual/online learning be used to
ensure all learners are able to access the learning
opportunities they need/deserve?

25. ECONOMY
The relationship between education and the economy is
important from two perspectives:
• The benefit to society of having well educated young people
who are prepared to take up roles in employment that will
contribute to the growth of our economy.
• The cost to society of investing in education, such as the
building of schools, teachers’ salaries, and curriculum
resources.

Indicators of trends to watch for…

at age 30
• World Economic forum report on “High Demand Jobs” none of
which were represented in the OECD list
• “Change Agenda: Income Equity for Māori” – need to unlock
Māori potential
• Shifting from a ‘financial maximization’ mindset (ref DAVOS)

• How does the thinking in the economic theme influence your thinking
about ‘equity’ as a key area of concern within our education system? What
impacts do you see here and what responses do you think need to be made
in the way your school/programmes/community respond?
• How is the focus on things like learner agency, personalisation, competency
development etc. and the use of design thinking and gamification in your
school driven and/or informed by the trends and issues identified in the
economy theme?
• How far down the track is your school with the implementation of the
Digital Technologies and Hangarau Matihiko Curriculum? What are the key
messages you are giving students and the community about ‘why’ this is
important?
