This episode is brought to you by Veracross and Toddle.The Downtown School is a small school that takes a unique approach to school management – all faculty and staff also serve an administrative role. In addition to a strong sense of ownership, the approach lends to an immersion in school data by everyone, leading to better strategy and positive outcomes.Data security is especially critical, including when using AI to assist with data analysis (though there are ways to do so responsibly, e.g., via API and special arrangements with the AI providers).The model is scalable (e.g., a department could adopt this approach as opposed to the entire school) as well as flexible.Also discussed was the work of the Center for Institutional Research at Independent Schools (CIRIS) and new AI-related initiatives they have coming.ResourcesHarpertech.ioThe Downtown SchoolCIRISData-Informed Decision Making: A Guide to Institutional Research in Independent SchoolsCanvas by InstructureChatGPTClaude AIFERPACOPPANAIS eventsATLIS AI Resource HubATLIS content - AIATLIS content - Independent School Governance and LeadershipVisit SeattleMentioned in this episode:Learn more about ToddleDeveloped by experienced educators, Toddle streamlines curriculum planning, projects & portfolios, assessments & reports, and online learning - all from one great platform!

This episode is brought to you by Veracross and Toddle.As independent schools integrate technology more deeply into their educational practices and administrative operations, they face critical questions: How can they protect their digital ecosystems? What strategies can be employed to shield against cyber threats? Furthermore, how does cybersecurity intersect with the broader educational goals of fostering a safe and innovative learning environment?Robert Olsen, Global Practice Leader for Cybersecurity and Data Privacy at Ankura Consulting Group, addresses these pressing concerns. Olsen emphasizes the necessity for schools to adopt a proactive approach to cybersecurity. This stance is not merely about defense but about building a resilient digital culture that can withstand and adapt to the evolving nature of cyber threats.Olsen remarks, "The reality is, threat actors are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making it all the more important for schools to adopt a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity." This observation by Olsen highlights a critical challenge: the pace at which cyber threats evolve demands an equally dynamic and informed response from independent schools.Transitioning from Olsen's overarching insights, Christina Lewellen, the Executive Director of ATLIS, and Hiram Cuevas, the Director of Information Systems and Academic Technology at St. Christopher's School, provide practical perspectives on implementing these strategies within the school setting. Lewellen advocates for integrating technology to enhance collaboration and break down barriers within the school community. She asserts, "It's about leveraging technology to break down walls and foster collaboration," underscoring the essential role of cybersecurity in safeguarding the community's integrity and privacy.Cuevas adds a personal dimension to the discussion by sharing his experiences with technology's dual nature—its capacity to connect and expose. He reflects on using features like 'Find My' on Apple devices, balancing the convenience and peace of mind such technologies offer with the potential privacy concerns they raise. "It's not about monitoring but ensuring safety," Cuevas says, highlighting the nuanced approach required when integrating technology into educational settings.Olsen builds on these individual perspectives by addressing the unique challenges independent schools face, such as limited resources, which can make the implementation of comprehensive cybersecurity measures seem daunting. He advises a strategic focus: "It's about identifying the most critical assets and focusing efforts on protecting those." This approach advocates for maximizing the impact of existing resources through prioritization and strategic investment.Going deeper, Olsen explores the broader implications of cybersecurity within the educational sector, including privacy issues and the ethical use of technology. He champions the creation of a secure yet practical ecosystem. "The goal is to create a secure and nurturing environment where technology enhances the educational experience without compromising the privacy or safety of the school community," he elaborates.Bill Stites, the Director of Technology at Montclair Kimberley Academy, often highlights the importance of transparent communication facilitated by technology.

"How should I deal with my toddler's temper?" This episode dives into effective strategies like setting clear expectations, consistency in discipline, and developmentally suitable consequences.

Today's episode is brought to you by Toddle and Veracross.How do technology leaders navigate the constantly shifting sands of ed tech (especially with disruptive new technologies)? How do you communicate the value and intricacies of your work? Moreover, how is emerging technology like AI integrated effectively into the classroom, and what role do personal relationships play in the successful implementation of such technology in education? We tackle these questions and more with today's guest, Dawn Carrera Berkeley, the Director of Educational Technology at St. Albans School in Washington, DC. This episode opens with co-host Christina Lewellen humorously sharing her family's perception of her role: "My parents and my children have no idea what I do for a living." Co-host Hiram Cuevas, joins in and adds, "I think they think I turn it off and turn it back on again." This introduction playfully highlights the common misconceptions surrounding the complexity of ed tech roles, especially in independent schools. Next, the co-hosts explore Dawn Carrera Berkeley's journey from aspiring to a career in medicine to her eventual calling in education, beginning in public schools and later transitioning to independent schools. She recounts her experiences and challenges in integrating technology into education, notably as the iPad coordinator for a large school district. A significant aspect of Berkeley's narrative is the importance of relationships in her work, as she emphasizes, "I try to approach my work from a relationship standpoint." This point is further echoed by Cuevas, who notes the importance of understanding classroom dynamics: "So many folks could actually benefit from that, who are new to leadership positions in schools... It's so important to get in the classrooms, and actually watch what's going on and see how the curriculum unfolds."Berkeley discusses the intricacies of navigating emerging technologies like AI in education. She remarks on her cautious yet open approach: "We're not always first out the gate with the shiny things." Her practicality is evident as she talks about evaluating the educational impact of technology: "How do we respond to [AI]? What should our response be? We need to think critically about how we assess. How do we measure the impact on learning?" Co-host Bill Stites resonates with this sentiment, highlighting the unique pace of change in schools: “I think in schools, particularly independent schools, you need to kind of take a moment, take a breath, slow down, and just have the conversations and then move from there."Throughout the podcast, Berkeley's commitment to using resources strategically shines through. She states, "I have to make sure that I'm thoughtfully using what we have and not being wasteful," demonstrating her efficient management style. Berkeley also emphasizes the importance of staying current in the fast-evolving field of educational technology. She shares, "I listen to a lot of LinkedIn courses... a lot of them are in tech in business.”The podcast concludes by highlighting the future of ed tech, focusing on its alignment with independent school missions. Berkeley reflects on her dual role as an ed tech leader and parent, "I want my kids to be protected," underscoring the depth of responsibility in her position. This episode encourages listeners to appreciate the blend of skills, relationships, and foresight that are pivotal in driving innovation at independent schools. A critical combination of innovation, empathy, and strategic planning is necessary in modern ed tech leadership.ResourcesBUILD program at St. Christopher's School

This episode is brought to you by Toddle. ATLIS thanks our vendor partners.Have you ever wondered how ATLIS came into existence? This special podcast episode takes listeners back to the beginning with ATLIS's three co-founders. The conversation doesn't stay in the past but also imagines the future trajectory of ATLIS and the role of technology leaders.Meet ATLIS co-founders: Kelsey Vrooman, Gaberiel Lucas, and Stuart Posin, as they reminisce about the early days, discussing their motivations and the challenges they faced. Their narrative underscores the importance of community and support in the tech field, particularly in the unique world of independent schools. Vrooman shares a poignant insight into her early days, remarking, “ATLIS served as a lifeline to me of bringing the smartest people in the room and allowing me to connect in with their wisdom and not having to reinvent the wheel.”Lucas emphasizes the community's role in ATLIS' journey, stating, "We knew that whatever happened here was going to be the make or break moment." Posten brings to light the rapid growth of ATLIS, saying, "We went from like, 'Hey, we're going to do this' to having almost 300 people at our first conference six months later."The conversation navigates the critical juncture where ATLIS transitioned from a concept to a concrete entity, emphasizing the strategic decisions and collaborative efforts that fueled its growth.The episode takes a deeper look at the pivotal role of ATLIS in providing a platform for tech administrators to share knowledge, tackle common challenges, and foster a sense of belonging."The antidote to burnout is community. It's a restful space where you can find shelter, where you know, people have your back, people are feeding not just your pocketbook, but your soul, your friendships, all of those things." Vrooman remarked. The founders reflect on their journey, outlining the evolution of their roles and the continuing relevance of ATLIS in a rapidly changing technological landscape. The conversation also touches on the future, envisioning ATLIS's role in addressing emerging challenges and new frontiers in educational technology. Vrooman shares one idea for how to address the challenges of financial sustainability for independent schools: “So much of technology can be administered digitally and from afar, so are there ways where you could partner schools that have similar missions that aren't necessarily market competitors. These schools could share services, share talents, even share platforms, across space and time to make the bottom line of technology more sustainable for schools. I'd like for ATLIS to be part of that solution to really rethink the business model of independent schools to try to make it more sustainable for the future.” Mentioned in this episode:Learn more about ToddleDeveloped by experienced educators, Toddle streamlines curriculum planning, projects & portfolios, assessments & reports, and online learning - all from one great platform!

Our guest, Mark Orchison, CEO of 9ine, offers an international perspective on data privacy regulations and cyber trends from working with schools around the globe.Orchison joins the podcast for a conversation exploring the intricacies of cybersecurity in independent schools, emphasizing its importance alongside the growing fascination with AI. It became clear that while AI garners significant attention, cybersecurity remains a critical, ongoing challenge that schools continuously grapple with. Co-host Hiram Cuevas shared insights into the daily discussions about cybersecurity in his school, highlighting its integration into various aspects of school operations. Examples include discussions in the business office about cyber renewals and subscription services. This ongoing engagement with cybersecurity issues, even when not overtly labeled as such, speaks to its embeddedness in the fabric of school administration. "It's a daily battle, balancing security with accessibility," Cuevas reflects.Co-host Bill Stites suggests, "It's about creating a culture where security is second nature," advocating for foundational security practices that can significantly strengthen a school's digital defenses. His approach goes beyond immediate solutions, integrating cybersecurity into various school management decisions such as new services and data storage. The episode also touched upon the concept of Zero Trust architecture in cybersecurity, unpacking its relevance and application for independent schools. Orchison elaborated on this, explaining how the ATLIS 9ine Tech Academy initiative he's involved in is designed to empower tech directors with practical knowledge and skills for implementing robust cybersecurity measures in their schools.The co-hosts discussed the evolving landscape of cyber insurance in the context of education, noting the significant changes post-pandemic. Orchison's insights into the insurance industry's response to the heightened risk of cyber attacks in education were particularly enlightening. He explained how the pandemic dramatically increased malware encounters in the education sector, prompting insurers to rethink their strategies and policies.The conversation also ventured into the realm of student data privacy, focusing on schools' ethical and moral obligations to protect student information.

In this deep-dive episode, APIs are explored in detail, with guests Bernie McCormick, Nick Marchese, and Shandor Simon providing valuable insights on how APIs facilitate smoother interactions between different software systems, aiding in the management and operation of independent schools. They explore how APIs facilitate data integration and automation, sharing experiences and challenges in implementing APIs. The discussion emphasizes the importance of API literacy among technology leaders and underscores the need for well-formed, accessible APIs from vendors. Bernie McCormick, CTO of Mary McDowell Friends School (New York) opened the episode by highlighting the quality and functionality of APIs. He emphasized the need for well-formed APIs for seamless integration into independent schools. He stated, “The core systems that most schools use are a combination of security, identity management, communications, email, an enterprise document, all of these things. There's a lot of replication that happens between them. A lot of that was happening manually. When you add people to the process, it creates errors. Most of the APIs that I'm using internally are around the vendors that have well-formed APIs and using them as the source of truth to feed other systems that have less robust APIs." McCormick's insights set the tone for a discussion centered around the technical and practical aspects of API integration in schools.Next, Nick Marchese, Director of Academic and Strategic Technology at Emma Willard School (New York) shared his insights on the role of APIs during the pandemic, highlighting their importance in adapting to new challenges.

ResourcesInternational Council Advancing Independent School Accreditation (ICAISA)Connect with Bonnie on LinkedInATLIS360EE Ford Foundation This episode is brought to you by Toddle.ATLIS thanks our vendor partners for their support!Have you ever considered the behind-the-scenes intricacies of school accreditation, especially in the era of ever-evolving technology? In a recent episode of Talking Technology with ATLIS, host Christina Lewellen, Executive Director of ATLIS, invites Bonnie Ricci, Executive Director of ICAISA, to discuss this niche yet vital topic. Accompanied by co-hosts Bill Stites and Hiram Cuevas, they embark on a journey into the evolving landscape of school accreditation and the pivotal role of technology, making this complex topic accessible and engaging. The conversation started with each person sharing their first job experiences, illustrating diverse beginnings leading to their current influential roles in education and technology. Ricci, with her rich background in education, shared her journey from a dishwasher to her prestigious role at ICAISA. This progression epitomizes the unexpected paths to leadership roles in education and technology. Ricci shares, “I was really destined in many ways to become a teacher. I spent a little over a decade teaching middle school math at three different independent schools. I loved connecting deeply with the people in schools. And so from there, I moved from the classroom to Association work.” Her story is a testament to the evolving nature of careers in these fields, where initial aspirations often transform into roles far more impactful than imagined.The podcast's core discussion centered around accreditation in independent schools. Ricci emphasized how technology is increasingly integral to the accreditation process. She illustrated this with examples of schools leveraging technology for self-study preparations and the use of AI to streamline accreditation documentation. This innovative approach highlights a shift from traditional methods to more technologically driven processes, ensuring efficiency and accuracy.A significant part of the conversation was dedicated to the challenges schools face during accreditation. Ricci shared insights from a study conducted by ICAISA, revealing governance as a key area of focus. The study, funded by the E. Ford Foundation, analyzed governance-related recommendations from various schools, uncovering common themes and challenges. Ricci states, "We're in the middle of this project to look at individual recommendations from visiting team reports. All of these things are governance challenges that arise in visiting team reports... And then ultimately to determine what are the resources that ICAISA or member accrediting associations can provide to schools." This research underscores the importance of continual improvement in school governance practices.In a compelling segment of the podcast, Ricci probed into the critical role of technology in the accreditation process, underscoring its importance not only in facilitating but also in securing the procedure. She emphasized the necessity of a technological and data security perspective in managing the accreditation process. "If you don't have that technological lens or the data security lens you're not necessarily going to remember or be aware of how to change those permissions or how to delete certain files," Ricci...
