Transforming a School

Compliance

I'm doing this task because it is required

Engagement

I'm doing this task because I believe in it.

What we know

• Change and comfort are related
• "Change" is visible when doors are open
• Our beliefs have influence on our students
• Change isn't easy

Mandates

Can we become engaged with mandated ideas?

Tell me and I'll forget


Teach me and I may remember
Involve me and I learn

Tell me and I'll listen


Teach me and I'll take notes
Involve me and I'll buy in

Buy In of "we"

Purposeful input

Access but zero use

• No buy in
• District/State testing requirements
• Lack of understanding of tools
• Cycles of "the same" (Shift the Monkey)
• Lack of communication of access

STP COmponents

• Shared tech experiences by dept
• How/Why students use FROM students
• Any teacher could share
• Parents on hand to support/learn
• Admin excitement/access

Community Driven

Involve Depts

Include food

Reflect

Be realistic & Proactive

Change starts
