What did you change?

Were the additional 5 changes more difficult? Why? Why not?

How did you feel when you were pressured to hurry in making the changes?

Would it have been easier if only one change had been requested at a time? =

Just as changing the first five things was easy, initial change, in schools typically involves changing the easy and most superficial things. The stress level rises and resistance to change increases when people are asked to go beyond quick fixes or make multiple changes simultaneously.

Changes affecting values and philosophies are always the hardest to make. Often schools receive mandates to implement new initiatives, but once the pressure is off, they drift back into the old way of doing things (their comfort zone!).

If we see the value and purpose of change, we are of course more likely to strive for it. If those required to make changes have a voice in the process, the change is likely to be less complicated and more lasting.
