Abstract

The education environment in which Heads of School/Heads of Department have been required to operate in has changed significantly during 2009. Although the economic environment has created a downturn in business performance, with increased unemployment and decreased optimism in the New Zealand economy, education has performed well, with many ITP’s reaching and surpassing their EFTS cap. In light of this, managers have been faced challenges which have not been previously seen. Careful examination of existing curriculum portfolio and its relevance for the future so as to ensure Government Tertiary objectives are met Policies for managing student access to places in courses are being implemented Increased demands in juggling staff workload as student enrolments have increased often without greater access to additional resources for staffing purposes
In response to these challenges, education mangers need to think differently about the delivery of curriculum. This workshop will allow current mangers to share their experience and how they have responded to the shifting sands.
