Some key data challenges facing schools today
• Culture change
• Learner centric v institution centric
• Out of the office and into the classroom and beyond
• Interrogating data across functional areas
• Interoperability – context of collaboration
Some key data challenges facing schools today
• Building Schools for the Future context
• Real-time reporting
• Support for schools
• System issues – workforce issues
The wider ecosystem
Why interoperability?
• Reduce burdens
•Give teachers more time to teach and enable them to teach better
• Schools, local authorities and DCSF will spend less effort on collecting data
• Supports choice and flexibility
• Cut down on the time schools spend on vertical reporting
• Allows horizontal reporting within schools between applications
• Allows seamless integration of applications
• Reduce integration burden with other agencies(eg ContactPoint)
Why interoperability?
What is SIF?
Schools Interoperability Framework
It is not:
- A product
- An application
- A software package
Schools Interoperability Framework
It is:
An international specification consisting of:
-a recognised data model
-a robust, flexible and secure transport mechanism
What is SIF?
Vertical integration? Horizontal reporting??
Just run that by me again please…
