2. What is CBAM?
 Stands for Concerns-Based Adoption Model
 Based on work done by F.F. Fuller
 An instrumental tool that individuals and groups can
use to evaluate an innovation and how they feel about
its use in their work

3. Key Tools
 3 tools to collect data: Stages of Concern (SoC)
Levels of Use (LoU)
Innovations Configurations (IC)
 Key tool is the SoC questionnaire which measures the
teacher’s concerns about an innovation.

4. SoC Questionnaire
 Assesses the 7 Stages of Concern:
Awareness (stage 0)
Informational (stage 1)
Personal (stage 2)
Management (stage 3)
Consequences (stage 4)
Collaboration (stage 5)
Refocusing (stage 6)

5. LoU Tool
 Assesses how teachers are actually using the
innovations (Levels of Use).
 The following 8 LoU have been proposed:
non-use mechanical integration
orientation routine renewal
preparation refinement
 Obtained through observations, conversations, and
interviews with teachers.

6. IC Tool
 Stands for Innovations Configurations.
 Used to identify the patterns of innovations that
happen when different teachers implement these
innovations in their classrooms.

7. Application
 Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM) has been
used extensively in educational settings.
 Stages of Concerns Questionnaire tool (SoCQ) also
utilized in terms of measuring teachers’ concerns,
such as curricular reform.
