6 Secrets of Change
1. Love your employees
2. Connect with peers with purpose
3. Capacity building prevails
4. Learning is the work
5. Transparency rules
6. Systems learn
- theory comes from practice (two way street)
- turn around entire systems (whole schools, whole districts, whole provinces/states)
- WHOLE SYSTEM REFORM
- "collective capacity" and "collective competencies"
- high quality teachers and high quality principals
- take mystery out of complexity - do things well (simplexity)
Problem: how do you elicit change when people involved don't want to change?
(9 ways to help people get on board)
1. Relationships first
- if you come off too strong or too slow or too fast, people won't want to change or get on board (first create relationships with people involved, then create change)
2. Implementation dip
- first 6 months of change can be rocky or slow
