The first thing that came to mind was the use of a Business Architecture, a BA would improve the proficiencies of a school district so they are not working against each other. BA incorporates the “what, who, how, when and why” of an organizations strategic business goals. They define goals and objectives to create streamline business results. These results from BA in a school setting are to afford the best educational outcomes to students. This happens because BA can help schools realign their business processes, systems and resources throughout the school. To me it seems like BA is defining the vision of the school and giving them a clear and precise strategy to give all stakeholders the best results possible. Another way I would suggest to unify systems that all stakeholders use it to get rid of the programs that just don’t do the job. How many programs and applications do many schools use that just don’t do the job or they are outdated. I remember when I first started teaching I use to do my attendance on a scantron sheet. Once I was done I would send a student to the office to submit it. From manually imputing attendance and grades we moved to a system called SIS. From SIS we would be able to take attendance and input grades. Our school used that for a few years but the program was getting outdated and it was not user friendly. Administrators made an informed decision and decided to move to a system called Aeries. Aeries gives teachers, administrators, parents, and students controlled access to student information via web browser interface. I can add and change grades, take attendance and much more. Implementing systems that can streamline tasks can clarify and unify all stakeholders.
