Educational Leadership:Inventing New Systems:The Stages of Systemic Change - 0 views

  •  
    "Administrators across the United States are recognizing that the education system needs fundamental changes to keep pace with an increasingly complex global society. Yet, the deeper we get into the process of change, the more confused we can become. We need some sense of what to expect and what direction to take. Seeing the patterns of change can be difficult; stakeholders in a system tend to see change primarily from their own perspective. Often teachers may not understand what is seen by administrators and parents, nor do administrators or parents see change from a teacher's perspective, or from each other's. To give stakeholders an aerial view of the shifts occurring in educational systems, the matrix "A Continuum of Systemic Change" defines six developmental stages and six key elements of change (see fig. 1). A composite of experiences in systemic change from across the United States and at all levels of education, the matrix provides stakeholders with a common vantage point for communicating and making decisions about change."

Hard Fun - 0 views

  •  
    "Once I was alerted to the concept of "hard fun" I began listening for it and heard it over and over. It is expressed in many different ways, all of which all boil down to the conclusion that everyone likes hard challenging things to do. But they have to be the right things matched to the individual and to the culture of the times. These rapidly changing times challenge educators to find areas of work that are hard in the right way: they must connect with the kids and also with the areas of knowledge, skills and (don't let us forget) ethic adults will need for the future world.

3 Reasons Why Next Year Could Be Your Best | The Principal of Change - 0 views

  •  
    "Having a tiring end to the year after dealing with some tough personal events in my life, I have decided to take some time and enjoy things outside work. Although people get on my case about blogging, I find writing to be soothing and a release for my mind that seems to be all over the place on most days. As I sat on a plane heading to The Avett Brothers concert, I thought about the next year (year in teacher language is usually August until June in many countries) and what are some of the things that I am going to focus on that will make next year great. Hopefully some of these thoughts will help others as well."

How to Lead When You're Not in Charge - Gary Hamel and Polly LaBarre - Harvard Business... - 0 views

  •  
    "For all of the books (thousands) written on leadership, individuals (millions) who have participated in leadership seminars and dollars (billions) invested in leadership development, too many leadership experts still fail to distinguish between the practice of leadership and the exercise of bureaucratic power.

      Is this a misnomer?  Is there a significant difference between "four learning models" and "four types of learning" ?

      Here, we finally get to the point suggested in the title.  Is this an organizational problem?

      From a learning perspective, what if we started with the image.  What do you see?  What does this image reveal?  What is the assertion being made?  What evidence supports the assertion?
  • it’s not because of a decreased attention span—it’s because they aren’t given tasks that honor their dominant ways of learning.

      In the neurodevelopmental framework, we call this Satisfaction Level, a function of attention. What is your reaction to the language here - the change to "dominant ways of learning"? 
    • Chris English
       
      In my work, I look at how the affordances of new technology are subsumed into old practices.  Collaborative digital technologies can radically transform pedagogy if we allow ourselves to shed traditional practices.
