1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: We have a parent portal which presumably dovetails with the

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: local schools portal. It will have lessened summaries for each year,

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: group videos, tools to help students learn at home. Secondary

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: Principals Association President barn Coyo is back with us one morning.

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: Good morning, how are you well?

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: Are we on the right track here?

7
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: Look, any opportunity to involve parents and Farno and learning

8
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 2: is a good opportunity because we know that kids learn

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: better when their families know what's going on at school.

10
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: Does any well, does it take anything that an active

11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: parent wouldn't already do?

12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: Probably not. It just curates it into an easier to

13
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: find space. So you know, you can go and look

14
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 2: up past tommosis and activity exams on enzi Coa's website.

15
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: On the portal, you can just click in one place.

16
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 2: So it's more of a curation of stuff than necessarily

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 2: creating new resources. However, when you're talking about the curriculum refresh,

18
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: that is a new piece of so all of that

19
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: stuff by default will be new resource.

20
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: Yes, indeed it well? Does it dovetail and specifically with

21
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: what any given school doing or would you need to

22
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: leap between portals and talk to teachers and stuff like that.

23
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: At this stage, there's not that interconnectivity. It is a

24
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: resource about what's going on with the curriculum refresh and

25
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: structured literacy, structured numeracy and the Literacy Numeracy corecords. It's

26
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: for ZQA. It's not a two way quick communication tool

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: between schools and the ministry resources.

28
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: Okay out of ten, I know this is a simple question.

29
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: Ten being brilliant, one being a disaster. Are we are

30
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: we getting a pass mark here?

31
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: Oh? It's definitely between seven and ten at the minute.

32
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 2: It's a good idea. It's not fully populated at this

33
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: point because it's still just been released before all the

34
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 2: resources are there, so it'll hopefully get better over time.

35
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, appreciate it very much. Bon Koyo, who's the
