5 Challenges Schools Face Supporting Technology for the 21st Century Student

We are now two decades into the 21st Century and the technology available to teachers and students has rapidly developed in that time. From smart boards to iPads, the tools available to support students learning over the past twenty years has changed.

Supporting 21st century skills

Starting pre-kindergarten, new and evolving skills are needing to be incorporated into the curriculum such as STEM, entrepreneurship and creativity to prepare students for the workplace of the future.

The introduction of the technologies to support these skills has placed a range of new pressures on teachers and administrators.

Five challenges we have identified are:

  1. Increased pressure to provide real-time communication and feedback to parents on student learning and behaviour, with shorter and more frequent updates requested.
  2. A move towards more personalised learning approaches catering to individual student requirements means a shift in the way that classrooms and curriculums are constructed.
  3. Change management as the automation of administrative systems increases to lessen the administrative burden on teachers and support staff.
  4. Increased need for teachers to have IT and technical skills to cope with demands of STEM curriculum. Teachers are increasingly expected to not only be teachers but also IT support staff.
  5. The requirement for more IT support as the burden of these technologies, which are outside of their job scope becomes an increasing issue.
