Education ADDRESSING THE ORGANZATIONAL NEED FOR A HOLISTIC

AND EFFICIENT ECOSYSTEM THAT SUPPORTS STUDENT

ADMINISTRATION AND INOFMRATION MANAGEMEN T.

The Education Systems newsletter is to keep you informed on this

exciting initiative that Kamehameha Schools is embarking on for the

next few years.

What is the Education Systems Assessment?

Kamehameha Schools is laumching an

initiative called Education Systems

Assessment (ESA) which is the first

phase of a multi-year initiative. To

address the strategic plan Ka Papa

Ho’olālā 2015-2020, ESA will meet KS’

objectives for a streamlined SAS

(Student Administration System) and SIS

(Student Information System) ecosytem

for KS programs with data integration,

accessibility, and information

collaboration across the organization.

This complies with Goal 1: Network of

Native Hawaiian Schools, Goal 2:

Improved Educational System, and Goal

4: High-Performing Native Hawaiian

Organization. During this assessment, we will

collect, document, and analyze information

about KS’ current state of systems and

processes. We will also document problems or

gaps that a future state system may address.

Once we understand the needs of KS as a

whole, we will be able to go out to the market

place to find the solution best suited for our

organization. This effort will include input from

the entire Education division and supporting

areas, Enterprise Information Management, and

Information Technology. Participation across

the organization is crucial for success of this

initiative.

WHAT’S MY ROLE? As part of the deliverables from the assessment, we need to document our current state of both

system and manual processes. We want to understand the challenges that the staff face when

doing their daily tasks so that we can find a solution to help solve the issue. As we begin to

schedule interviews, we may reach out to you to gather information regarding your processes

and how it affects other departments or systems. We will ask not only administrative staff, but

also teachers and focus groups of students/parents to help us gain a better understanding of

what is needed to help our students be successful at KS.

UNDERSTANDING THE

TIMING OF THIS

INIITIATIVE………… 2

ISSUE 1 | NOVEMBER | 2018

We have partnered with

xxx vendor to help us

conduct the assessment to

ensure we have captured

the operational and

reporting needs for

SAS/SIS as well as system

interaction between KS

educators, administrators,

learners, and families

across our programs.

ASSESS SMARTER:

Experience vs. Discipline

Understanding the timing of this initiative

Kick-off for this initiative is

targeted for mid-November. We

will work with xxxx vendor to

map out the methodology and

timeline for the assessment. We

have identified 3 main groups

that will participate in the

assessment, but more groups

may be added at a later time.

The 3 groups are: Education

(including Tri-campus, Pre-

Schools, Summer School,

CE&R and Support Services),

ng

Data (Enterprise Information

Management and Services), and

Technology (ITD). We have

created a Steering Committee

with representatives

from each area to

ensure each

department

has a seat at the

table. We are working

through identifying the

members of the project team

and we may be reaching out to

you! The timing to gather

requirements, document

process flows, and system

integrations will be between

November to February 2019.

Between February to March, we

will submit the project budget and

work with xxxx vendor to conduct a

formal process called a

Request for Proposal

(RFP) to select the

best solution(s) to

implement replacing

SAS (TADS) and

SIS (SMS). The

contract with the vendor will take

us through October 2019. Once the

vendor is in place, we will initiate

the start of the second phase of this

initiative which is ‘Implmentation’.

We are targeting dates for

Implementation, but it is subject to

change based on the assessment and

the vendor selected.

As we collaborate locally

or with partners across the

water, we bring our cultural

values with us.

25% How knowledge of the organization, the industry, the topic domain or the overall environment facilitating the effectiveness of the project achieving overall success or alignment with larger goals.

Proactive Pre-work before the project initiation done with her manager Millicent Cruz to have a Steering Committee and Charter, Project Charter, Project Schedule, Communication Plan, Project Team Functional Structure, RAIDD Log, and a RFI/RFP process in place utilizing PMI structure and best practices, Leschon setup the project team for success for an initiative of this size and scope.Leschon has succesfully managed and completed the task as the a replacement of her project manager colleague due to her leave/absense for KS project. However, in this project, I couldn't see other project management performance indicators, such as: either the project is under budget or ahead schedule. But, she sucessfully managed to complete the deliverables required for the KS project.Another project - Education System Assessment that she submitted is not officially kicked-off, so, the performance cannot be measured but she accomplished necessary documents and plan for the project.Leschon has used the best practices expected to manage the project, demonstrating skill with the techniques and acting to solve problems. The performance of the projects was as expected, even surpassing expectations.

Advancement of Profession

25% How the project manager exemplifies professional skills important to the profession and how the person promotes or shows continuous support for the profession of project management.

Conducting interviews, engaging in the professional organizations, networking, entering contests, attending conferences, inclusion of feedbacks and group discussions certainly advances the profession.She was involved in many project management events, and dedicated her self or the project management community as volunteer. Having a professional project management certification and education, and besides working as Senior IT Project Manager, she is working for education to develop project management in academician.

Team Leadership

25% Candidate’s project management and team leadership philosophies important to the motivation of team members, the promotion of project success and the effective delivery of project results.

Sitting on boards, helping fellow students, founding a non profit organization are all traits of a great leader with team spirit and collaboration.She has a proven track record in leading various team and industry. She led many projects in profit-organizations. Furthermore, she leads many programs in non-for-profit organization that is not easy compare to profit-organization. Since in non-for-profit organization, most of the leaders shall lead by example, because there is no "reward & punishment" system, only reward and motivaton. Since, she sucessfully completed many programs in non-for-profit organizations, it's proved that she has strong leadership. She also motivates her team and students so they can improve their performance.Leschon has extensive experience in leading teams with a focus on results. An interesting highlight is her experience in project management at non-profit organizations, which requires distinctive skills to lead people.

Best Practices 25% Use of project management skills or ‘best practices’ especially as they may relate to overcoming obstacles or navigating through project challenges (e.g., maintaining schedule in the face of potential delays, etc.)

Creating the KS PM CoP Charter, training preparations, new implementain t gain further insights, continued education from symposiums and sharing templates has the PM skills growing in her at a steady pace. She learned and implemented vairous best practices in her projects and organizations that helped to improve effectiveness of her project, better monitoring & controlling system and solved the project issues and risks. She also created proper procedures so the project can sucessfully completed.Leschon has been consistently using best practices for project management, adapting them to the needs and complexity of the initiatives, focusing on project monitoring and controlling.
