- Fullen’s 8 principles of the Change Process But the rules of presentation dictate that this is too many items on a slide...
- ...So we’ll just deal with 4 of them (can’t violate the presentation rules!) Vision and Strategic Planning Come Later (Premature visions and planning blind) Neither Centralization Nor Decentralization Works (Both top-down and bottom-up strategies are necessary.) Connection with the Wider Environment is Critical for Success (The best organizations learn externally as well as internally.) Every Person is a Change Agent (Change is too important to leave to the experts, personal mind set and mastery is the ultimate protection.) (pp. 21-22)
- Let’s take a look back at some of Fullen’s points that we previously ignored -- two, in particular that relate to developing a vision...
- That’s better -- only three items. The presentation police can stand down... You Can't Mandate What Matters (The more complex the change, the less you can force it.) Change is a Journey, not a Blueprint (Change is non-linear, loaded with uncertainty and excitement and sometimes perverse.) Vision and Strategic Planning Come Later (Premature visions and planning blind)
- Too much discourse today looks like this. It’s not dialog and there’s no real communication going on. One of the most effective ways to communicate -- to facilitate and lead a productive conversation -- CLICK -- is to listen.

- And with the technology tools available, the range of our conversation is literally global. Start by listening, but do not hesitate to contribute. What you give will come back many fold...
- Don’t try to do it alone... Not only do you need to develop and distribute leadership among your staff members, You need to develop your Personal Learning Network among fellow administrators to broaden your expertise...
- Caveat: Use what works for you. If it’s contrived, it won’t be effective. Keep it simple. Start slow & small (unless you like the edge): e.g. email. DO: Develop a Personal Learning Network - read blogs, follow others on Twitter (Chris Lehmann, etc.) Handhelds - ICOT; LoTi Observer
- One of several video clips on a wiki created this past summer by Tom and me - along with several other Apple Distinguished Educators. This clip features Andy Crozier talking about the importance of his personal learning network using Web 2.0 tools.
