Articles and Reflection

Article 2: How to Keep Mutiny from Sinking Your Change Effort - June 2017 Educational Leadership Magazine
As a leader of the innovation team at my school, we have been pushing the teachers, parents, and students to become more involved in implementing STEM/STEAM lessons in their
classrooms. Our team has attended workshops, conferences, and even visited other schools about this new initiative we want to make a permanent fixture. As the article mentions at the
beginning, the innovation team is over the top excited about the implementation only to be met with resistance from other faculty members. As usual, change often brings the comments
of "we don't have time" or "another thing on our plate". This article focused on how to keep your school from experiencing a mutiny towards change. The author gave insights from the
lessons learned by the companies Intel and Amazon.

One lesson we can take away as a school is that we need to bring the new idea to the staff for consideration. Ideas, concerns, and disagreements are all discussed there and not in private.
When discussions happen in private, the discussion is usually a damaging one. At Intel, after the idea takes shape then the group has to agree or disagree with it but commit to
implementation and get behind the idea to make it as successful as possible. Jeff Bezos of Amazon said that agreeing and committing are not the same thing. You can commit to something
but not agree. No one knows if something will or will not work until it is tried. If a new program or idea is tried half-heartedly then it will undoubtedly fail. I have seen this with our county
recently with the high school later start times. There was a survey done by parents, teachers, and students which showed that there was still a great division between what people thought
about this idea. In the end, the school board had to go with what the research stated and asked the community to be patient as they work the kinks out. To truly see if an opportunity was
successful, there must be data to discuss and validate or disprove an idea. So after agreeing to implement an idea, the data collection and reflection is very important.

There were 5 steps given in the article to help to get staff members to commit. First it said to explain the disagree-and-commit model to staff so that they understand why it is important.
Second, you need to involve families in the decisions early. If they understand the whats and whys they are more likely to be supportive. Thirdly, when you present to your staff, make sure
they know which parts are negotiable and which are not. Don't ask for input on something that has already been decided, but allow for discussion of parts that you would like feedback.
Fourth, school leaders should be prepared to make a final decision whether to move forward or not. As a leader, one must also be open to changing directions if a large group of people are
not able to commit. Finally, as a leader it is important to gather data along the way and be willing to thank those who disagree with the idea but committed.

As a leader, I will have to get my staff to have forward thinking and be open to making changes that are for the good of the students. I will need to be a good communicator and be up to
date on my research. It is important that I embrace initiatives that are proven by research and data and not just jump on a bandwagon. I really like the disagree-and-commit approach
introduced in this article and will remember to try this with ideas that I might want to try in the near future.
