Det första steget är kanske att fundera över vad som har gått sönder?
“Taking a cue from Ghandi, we need to be the change that we want to see in education. As educators we are faced with two choices, either fall in line with educational reforms dictated by individuals and special interest groups who do not and have not worked in schools, or carve out our own paths that are in the best interests of our students.
Change in education is often viewed as a long, difficult, drawn-out process with the end result not being sustainable. Yes, change can be difficult, but if we are to truly transform how we teach and students learn then we must be willing to work together while acknowledging that this process will be fraught with obstacles. As we have moved from change to transformation at New Milford High School, I have found the following elements to be integral to success of many of our current initiatives. They include the following:
1. Modeling
2. Empowering staff through autonomy.
3. Shift from buy-in to embracement
4. Flexibility
5. Support (resources, professional development)
6. Shared decision-making
7. Encouraging risk-raking
8. Eliminating the fear of failure.
9. Positive reinforcement.”
