Change is not easy. If you are considering transforming to personalized learning environments, you may have concerns about the changes you have to do to make this work for you and your learners. If you are a coach or professional developer, you are working with teachers guiding them through the changes they need to do to personalize learning. This chart can help you determine what type of strategies to use to guide change about the following seven stages:

> Awareness:  do not know about or sure what Personalized Learning is
> Informational: tell me more about Personalized Learning
> Personal: concerned how Personalized Learning will impact them as a teacher
> Management: concerned about managing the classroom when learning is personalized
> Consequence: wants to know how Personalized Learning will impact teaching and learning
> Collaborative: looking forward to share with and learn from other teachers
> Refocusing: nterested to support teachers and lead the way to personalize learning

This model provides a great starting point for addressing the concerns of change inside both the education department and elsewhere.

Coaching after PL works!

Mel Riddile's curator insight, December 5, 2012 3:54 PM

In all, the study found a 0.22 standard deviation increase in the scores of students taught by teachers who received a special form of teacher-coaching—roughly the equivalent of an increase from the 50th to the 59th percentile—relative to the students taught by teachers in a control group.


"This study shows dramatically, clearly, when you implement a [teacher] measure rigorously and couple it closely to a PD system, you get dramatic improvements in student achievement," said Robert C. Pianta, a professor at the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia.

Elena Aguilar, an experienced K-12 educator, is a transformational leadership coach in the Oakland, Calif., school district.
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:

"I've received many emails related to coaching towards the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). I'm going to address some by responding to Leah's email in which she raises the challenge of coaching towards CCSS in a context of change and distrust. Please continue to email me with other coaching questions, related to CCSS or anything else!"

Moving from Knowing to Doing.

Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:

An edupeep on #educoach (@PrincipalJ) recommended this article re: going from knowing to doing.  Includes a discussion of what to do about the main three barriers:   to translating knowledge 

into action: knowing what to do is
not enough; when talk substitutes
for action; and when measurement
obstructs good judgment.
