Session Objectives
At the end of the session, participants will be able to…

● identify forces that drive/enable and restrain/hinder
them to integrate SOLO framework and use the HOTS-
PLP in their pedagogical practice
● develop an action plan to minimize restraining forces
and maximize driving forces

Wrap-up
● Force field analysis helps us identify and amplify the
'driving forces' and identify and minimize obstacles or
'restraining forces' to change.
● Analyze → Plan next action → Commit to and
implement action plan
