Prioritizing Applications With my teaching experience exclusively in Adult Education and College ESL, all of the applications I am examining in this assignment are new to me. However, I understand the importance of having good systems in place. From my interview of School X’s Principal, I learned that many teachers use their own web-based application to track student grades. She commented that this could be confusing to students; and, it would be an improvement if the district would adopt one common LMS. If I were to prioritize the applications, I would take input like this from the principal, teachers, students, and other stakeholders to revamp the applications that are being used. I would ask questions like: What are the present applications being used? Are any of them redundant? Can more efficient systems be put in place? Can redundancy be reduced by adopting user-friendly, efficient applications that can take on multiple functions? Can we ensure interoperability between multiple applications? At the present, I am not the best equipped person to carry out this research. However, I would want to oversee and give input on this process. So, my first step would be to find the best person or team to research the above questions and make recommendations. I would help create a timeline for completion. I would ensure that all those given a task to complete would be accountable to complete it in the given timeframe. By asking the right questions, having the right people involved, carrying out a plan, and keeping focused on the goal of improving systems for staff, parents, and students; I am certain that the results will be positive.
