What were the criteria used in selecting which roll-out ‘wave’ a First Nations school was assigned to?
The roll-out ‘waves’ for the First Nations schools took into account a number of considerations. 1. Independent school status. As outlined above, these schools have fewer barriers to successful implementation. 2. The grade level offering. BCeSIS is a lot more complex for schools which offer high school education, so the first waves of schools offer only elementary grades. 3. Size of school 4. Internet connectivity. 5. Geographical location. We wanted to ensure that the ‘waves’ of schools included several schools from the same FNSA regions so that they could create regional cohorts if they desired.
