How to bring about change as a middle leader Geoff Barton

1.Consider five home-grown principles of change-management 2.Discuss your principles 3.Reflect on some case studies

observations on initiating change 5

1 Evidence, analysis and underlying principles are essential

2 Timing is crucial: choose your battles

3 Small things pave the way for big things

4 Changing structures can be necessary to change behaviour

5 “Never underestimate the power of an announcement” Margaret Thatcher

So what are your principles?

3 scenarios

Tim is a new Head of Maths joining a traditional team of 7 Maths teachers. Their results are good at C and above; but behaviour is an issue in lower sets. Tim knows from research that mixed ability grouping in Maths improve learning. How should he approach trying to implement it? What if..?

Head of Humanities Sue wants to introduce thinking time / no hands up /exploratory talk across her faculty. She has a team who are reluctant to try out new ideas. What should she do? What if..?

New Head of Year Doug wants his tutor team to deliver aspects of PSHE – including sex and drugs education. Several of the team say they are unqualified for this role and feel uncomfortable about it. How should he approach the change? What if..?

Conclusions?
