Sharing information across a cluster: the standardised learning support register (sLSR): Address by Susan Howan, Associate Deputy Secretary, Sector Enablement and Support

Susan Howan’s address at the Learning Support Coordinators Induction Forum on 25 March 2021.

Susan Howan talks about the changes that the Learning Support Action Plan provides and the opportunities for Learning Support Coordinators to be innovative and part of the change.

 

Please note: We have been working closely with kura, schools and early learning services across Aotearoa to prepare them to connect to Te Rito. The roll out of Te Rito is a very large-scale implementation process.

We have designed and built Te Rito to meet international standards for data security. Having recently completed and reviewed a national deployment plan, we need to take some additional steps in assuring that different systems can safely connect to Te Rito. While we do so, it is prudent that we pause the deployment of Te Rito.

This decision is also informed by recent deployment engagements around the country, where we’ve consistently received feedback about varying levels of awareness, appreciation and acceptance of the privacy and consent practices required to make Te Rito and the standardised Learning Support Register (sLSR) successful. There are particular concerns about privacy awareness, the extent of whānau engagement and understanding of consent for the collection and use of data throughout a learner’s education journey.
Pausing deployment will allow us to implement enhancements in a way that best prepares us for a high-quality national deployment.
