Exploring possibilities: an evaluation of the short-term effectiveness of the Secondary Futures process

The Secondary Futures/Hoenga Auaha Taiohi project was set up in 2003 to facilitate discussion and debate about the future of secondary education in New Zealand, via a series of workshops, meetings, conversations, website development, and a range of specific projects. 

This report draws on feedback forms from workshop participants and interviews with stakeholders to evaluate the short-term effectiveness of the Secondary Futures process.

We evaluated effectiveness in relation to the project's six Phase One objectives. The three research questions were also framed by current literature on futures-thinking, complex systems theory, school change and dialogue.

To conclude, we draw together the findings and literature to consider how Secondary Futures might further develop in Phase Two of the project.
