ERICA BASTIAN
Head of Human ResourcesBEFORE SCHOOLIP
Before SchooliP, The International School of Luxembourg had no system in place, meaning that all of their professional development, appraisals etc were being done on paper essentially. This was taking up huge amounts of time out of the day for already busy staff in the school.
When asked what led Erica to SchooliP she said "It is specifically created for a school. This is a huge advantage."
TRAINING & SUPPORT
When starting out with SchooliP, there were some changes that needed to be made to help SchooliP better fit the needs of the school. Erica was very impressed with the support available, saying "SchooliP was very customisable and the IT upport staff were very, very helpful."
Then when it was time to start training, Erica was very happy with the guidance provided, stating that "The support and training have been good. The recordings of the conversations with Andy have been very helpful."
INTEGRATION
Erica started out by saying "The implementation process went very smoothly. ISL already had a professional growth model in place and so transferring this into SchooliP was quite easy. SchooliP have been very responsive to all of the changes that ISL required as an international school (rather than a UK curriculum school)."
ADAPTABILITY
Erica was asked Have you made any specific customisations to better align the platform with your school's goals and objectives? She responded with "Yes, we have made many customisations to the tool, the labels, the standards, the professional development requests. The list is extensive."
Erica was also asked about her thoughts on how she thinks SchooliP will be able to keep up with changes and its scalability to which Erica said "Given the flexibility of the platform and the reactivity of the IT support team, I feel confident that SchooliP will be ale to change to meet our needs if/when we decide to overhaul our professional growth model."
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
Erica was asked In what ways do you see your school's use of SchooliP evolving in the future? She said “We will be continuing to work on more efficiently using the functions that we have at the moment.”
Erica was also asked if she would recommend to SchooliP to other schools in the future to which she responded “Yes, I would and yes, I have."
