The old saying is that <span class="st"><i>"No one likes change</i>
but babies in diapers." (Barbara Johnson) If that is true, how does a
district make systemic change? Kotter International states, "Urgency is
becoming increasingly important because<b> change is shifting from episodic to continuous</b>. That means there is a constant need for an urgent <b>focus on what is important</b>."
Change is around every corner. There is no longer a period of breathing
room in education. In North Carolina, it is no different. Our districts
are facing very large changes:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span class="st">Focusing on 21st century skills</span></li>
<li><span class="st">NC Teacher/Administrator Performance Evaluations</span></li>
<li><span class="st">Common Core/Essential Standards curriculum changes</span></li>
<li><span class="st">Online assessments to be given statewide in 2014</span></li>
</ul>
<span class="st">We must communicate a sense of urgency to all
education stakeholders. Parents, teachers, students, and community must
be involved in how schools do business. They must understand the <b>WHY </b>of change as much as they want to know the <b>HOW </b>of
change. Without a sense of urgency, it is easy to put off what needs to
be done (spoken by a true procrastinator by the way!). Most change
needs immediate action. By waiting, it can compound issues to where you
have to climb a mountain to solve a problem rather than a small hill.</span><br />
<span class="st"><br /></span><br />
<span class="st">When
I took my first leadership role, someone recommended I read the book
"Our Iceberg is Melting" by John Kotter. This is a very quick read
(within an hour) and is presented in a narrative format. Through the
example shared, Kotter reveals several steps to bringing about change
successfully. These steps have helped me throughout my career. Upon
reflection, I realize that I have developed my own off-brand approach.</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span class="st"><b>Build the infrastructure:</b> As a leader, you
must know the political landscape and the resources that you have at
your disposal. Are there structures in place for communication? How does
everyone collaborate? Find out what is there and see if it can be used
to accomplish your goals.</span></li>
<li><span class="st"><b>Know the players, build a team:</b> People are
important. If you are not a "people person", education is not the place
for you. A good leader will take the time to know the players of the
game and figure out how to strategically place them to bring about the
best results. Find strengths and play to those. If weaknesses are too
great to ignore, figure out how to grow strength in those folks or help
them find a place better suited for them.</span></li>
<li><span class="st"><b>Answer the "so what?" factor:</b> Everyone wants
to know what is in it for them. Why should I care? I remember asking my
own high school teachers that very same question. It is the same for
leadership. Teachers have tons of responsibilities on their plates. It
is the job of the leader to make connections so that everyone
understands how to work smarter. I use the analogy of "Chopped" on Food
Network. On the show, chefs are given random ingredients and told to
make a meal from them. The key is to make something that tastes good,
looks good, and is good. Leaders in schools have to do the same with the
different issues, programs and responsibilities on that teacher plate.</span></li>
<li><span class="st"><b>Bottom-up:</b> Change needs to be a grassroots
effort. If you can get buy-in by those affected the most, it can be very
successful. There is a great video about leadership from the
perspective of the "<a href="http://youtu.be/fW8amMCVAJQ" target="_blank">first follower</a>." Although funny, it illustrates perfectly how change can become a movement.</span></li>
<li><span class="st"><b>Top-down:</b> Leaders need to lead change. Period.</span></li>
<li><span class="st"><b>Differentiate for the learners (a.k.a. give them choice):</b>
Have multiple methods for teachers to get on board. This might be in
timing (letting some go first or let those who need to be last, be
last), in presentation of the information (multiple formats), or in
application of the change (let them choose where they will contribute to
the adoption of change).</span></li>
<li><span class="st"><b>Meet them where they are:</b> Don't make the
assumption that everyone is the same. Figure out the needs of your
audience/staff and work towards that. My husband is NOT a technology
person. He gets overwhelmed with the technical knowledge I have. If I
tried to teach him on my level, he would shut down. Instead, it is
important for me to teach him something about technology WHEN he needs
it or wants to learn it. Then he embraces the knowledge instead of
kicking back.</span></li>
<li><span class="st"><b>Be ready to drop back and punt:</b> Not all
change will be smooth sailing. Give the change time to take hold but if
the writing on the wall early on says that this is not the way to go,
don't be afraid to stop the implementation of change and work toward a
better solution.</span></li>
</ul>

I am addicted to Pinterest.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O4r0TEEX2-8/Tzc1sb3OpuI/AAAAAAAAD5o/6gT_BNURSWY/s1600/LogoRed.png"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 100px; height: 26px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O4r0TEEX2-8/Tzc1sb3OpuI/AAAAAAAAD5o/6gT_BNURSWY/s320/LogoRed.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708090090225313506" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> is the latest tool for organizing and sharing content on the web. Visualize a large corkboard where you can collect ideas, plan events, or find inspiration. Now make it digital so that you can browse the ideas of others. Add a dash of collaboration and you have Pinterest.<br /><br />By connecting with your social media accounts in Facebook and Twitter, you can easily find your friends, family and co-workers. As they pin new things, you can see what they find valuable on the web. Most people have boards that sort by recipes, books to read, fashion, home design, and much more. But as always, smart educators are finding a way to make this tool a great way to collaborate with other educators. As a former elementary school teacher, I love seeing my educator friends and co-workers share lesson ideas, posters, crafts, websites and so much more! The best part about Pinterest is that the links are visual so that you don't have to guess what they are.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9Q-AB6Jwpg0/Tzc2vOy6igI/AAAAAAAAD50/kMJy2WTNAdU/s1600/Picture%2B1.png"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 382px; height: 181px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9Q-AB6Jwpg0/Tzc2vOy6igI/AAAAAAAAD50/kMJy2WTNAdU/s320/Picture%2B1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708091237768792578" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br />If you have a smartphone, you can download the Pinterest app in the iTunes Store or in the Android Market.<br /></div></div>Marlo Gaddishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18196555729351453984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32094373.post-82296726754358875512011-05-16T10:48:00.001-04:002011-05-16T10:48:50.837-04:00The Demographics of Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace and Twitter | Ad Age Stat - Advertising Age<div class='posterous_autopost'><div class="posterous_bookmarklet_entry"> <div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="Media_httpadagecomima_uteeg" height="1000" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/divastechnology/DJcbBivaGfHttjowlxHgfcsGbiDvJmAaGlvihuuFdcmbAiszbxiGyuFpvzod/media_httpadagecomima_utEEg.jpg.scaled1000.jpg" width="470" /> </div> <div class="posterous_quote_citation">via <a href="http://adage.com/article/adagestat/demographics-facebook-linkedin-myspace-twitter/227569/">adage.com</a></div> <p></p></div></div>Marlo Gaddishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18196555729351453984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32094373.post-57197840774608111642011-05-06T16:09:00.001-04:002011-05-06T16:09:02.863-04:00Teacher Appreciation Song: A Song for Teachers - You Have Made A Difference<div class='posterous_autopost'><div class="posterous_bookmarklet_entry"> <object height="417" width="500"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vwsKWiXlA78&hl=en&fs=1" /><param name="wmode" value="window" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed allowfullscreen="true" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vwsKWiXlA78&hl=en&fs=1" wmode="opaque" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="417" width="500"></embed></object> <div class="posterous_quote_citation">via <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwsKWiXlA78&feature=player_embedded#at=70">youtube.com</a></div> <p></p></div></div>Marlo Gaddishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18196555729351453984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32094373.post-27358705344132782612011-05-02T20:21:00.001-04:002011-05-02T20:21:32.232-04:00How The World Spends Its Time Online -<div class='posterous_autopost'><div class="posterous_bookmarklet_entry"> <div class='p_embed p_image_embed'> <img alt="Media_httpwwwvisualec_gjufq" height="1000" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/divastechnology/voemluCsqbhzFihcruDHHytlwiukvzgurEmlIbxqyjfBsshrjAFDtCDGzhIs/media_httpwwwvisualec_gjufq.gif.scaled1000.gif" width="559" /> </div> <div class="posterous_quote_citation">via <a href="http://www.visualeconomics.com/how-the-world-spends-its-time-online_2010-06-16/">visualeconomics.com</a></div> <p></p></div></div>Marlo Gaddishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18196555729351453984noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32094373.post-22526925577680556352011-04-12T06:30:00.001-04:002011-04-12T06:30:16.940-04:00Daily Links 04/12/2011<ul class="diigo-linkroll"> <li> <p class="diigo-link"> <a href="http://nanoyou.eu">Nanoyou: Nanotechnology education resources | Nano for youth</a> </p> <p class="diigo-tags"> <span>tags:</span> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/mrhgaddis/Science">Science</a> <a href="http://www.diigo.com/user/mrhgaddis/Nanotechnology">Nanotechnology</a></p> </li> </ul><p class="diigo-ps">Posted from <a href='http://www.diigo.com'>Diigo</a>.
