Lesson 2 the dynamic nature of the internal and external (operating) environments
•
0 likes•858 views
This document discusses the dynamic nature of internal and external environments in schools and the driving forces for change. It explains that changes within schools can come from the internal environment like management, employees, and costs, or the external environment like customers, unions, competition, and broader societal factors. The document provides examples of how longer lunch breaks or fundraising events may initiate change and directs schools to consider what factors influence operations and who has interests in how their school is run between everyday stakeholders and those with long-term investment.

Chapter 6 050213 124355
This document summarizes a course on management and leadership in education. It discusses how schools are open systems that depend on exchanges with their external environments. Schools face influences from various levels of society, including technological developments, political structures, social and economic factors, and demographic trends. The external environment provides both opportunities and threats, so school administrators try to balance minimizing external influences while remaining responsive to demands. Schools must conform to rules from regulatory agencies to maintain legitimacy and access resources from their institutional environments.
Show Me Conference, 2009
This document summarizes a presentation on best practices for implementing differentiated instruction through responsive teaching and sustainable professional development. Some key points:
- Differentiation is a process that requires long-term commitment to become integral to a school/district's culture. Leaders must implement principles of differentiation in a way that meaningfully impacts all students.
- Successful change depends on building relationships and involving teachers as leaders. It also requires both pressure and support over an extended period of time while beliefs and practices evolve.
- The presenters outline a framework for differentiation initiatives, including defining common language, aligning to missions, identifying leaders, and addressing potential barriers/enablers.
- Advice includes focusing on collaboration, celebrating
Commitment to and passion for school renewal
This document outlines Module 7 of a leadership development program focused on passion and commitment for school renewal. It includes definitions of passion and commitment, research findings on their importance for school improvement, assessments of participants' attributes, and learning activities. Participants explore the historical context of educational leadership theories and apply concepts like servant leadership and problem-solving to a case study. The module aims to help principals and aspiring principals develop and implement a school renewal activity demonstrating their passion and commitment.

This document discusses two models of decision making - the rational model and bounded rationality model. The rational model involves 6 sequential steps: 1) identifying the problem, 2) generating alternatives, 3) evaluating alternatives, 4) choosing an alternative, 5) implementing the decision, and 6) evaluating effectiveness. However, the bounded rationality model recognizes limitations in people's rationality. Decisions are made at all levels in schools and affect outcomes. Effective problem identification, consideration of alternatives, implementation, and evaluation are essential for quality decision making.
5 Benefits of a Nonprofit Theory of Change
The document discusses the benefits of developing a theory of change for nonprofits. It explains that a theory of change 1) builds vision, mission, and strategy by relating activities to short and long-term outcomes; 2) engages board and staff by incorporating goals and objectives into operational plans; 3) helps prove impact by aligning metrics to measure outcomes; 4) allows capacity capital by demonstrating need for infrastructure to achieve greater impact; and 5) attracts more support by framing donations as investments in outcomes rather than needs.
Change in education
The document discusses the process of implementing educational change and the key factors involved. It outlines Michael Fullan's three phases of change: initiation, implementation, and continuation. Some of the greatest challenges are bridging the gap between theory and practice of change and understanding that what works in one situation may not work in another. Effective change requires relevance to needs, readiness among stakeholders, and adequate resources. Vision building, evolutionary planning, staff empowerment, development and problem solving are also important aspects of successful change implementation.
Change in education
This document discusses factors that affect educational change and the process of implementing change in schools. It outlines three phases of the change process - initiation, implementation, and continuation. Key factors that influence change include relevance of the change, readiness within the school, and available resources. The implementation process requires vision building, evolutionary planning, empowering teachers, and ongoing staff development and problem solving. External agents and the characteristics of the proposed change also impact whether change initiatives are successfully adopted.
LoopEd Leading with Foresight
This document summarizes Derek Wenmoth's presentation at the LoopED conference on leading change in an uncertain future. It discusses three orders of change - first order pushes boundaries of practice, second order examines assumptions, and third order is transformative. It also covers foresight, hindsight, insight, innovation, and strategy as key concepts. The presentation focuses on lessons learned from education over 20 years, understanding what works, and preparing for opportunities and challenges on the horizon.

Reviving an Ancient Change Model
Final version, presented at the COSA Proficiency Conference, April 30, 2012 by members of Arlington Community Charter School and North Central ESD.
Doing things differently or doing different things?
Almost 2 years of emergency remote teaching (ERT) have passed by and there’s the likelihood that we are all going to “return to normal”. Can we collectively engage in dialogue about the learning from the pandemic? In this session, I propose that we amplify, hospice and create (adapted from J Reich,) from what we’ve experienced. Lets find a way to stabilize an acceptance of circumstances that are beyond our control and identify practices (or different things) hat can aid and improve current digital education capacities. Presentation intended for #Heltasa21
Open Education Week: Students and OER Advocacy
This document provides information for students on advocating for open educational resources (OER). It discusses why students get involved in OER advocacy, avenues for involvement like student government and library internships, and examples of student-driven OER victories. It then outlines a statewide student initiative in California to create an OER toolkit for students, covering topics like what OER is and how to create and market OER. The document discusses best practices for creating the student team and toolkit, both benefits and challenges. Finally, it provides guidance for students on bringing OER advocacy to their own campuses by setting goals, identifying stakeholders, and making the case for support.
Curatorial Project 1
The document discusses the need to take an ecological approach when analyzing school cultures and making changes to schools. It argues that individual psychology and sociological factors alone are insufficient and neglect the influence of stable environmental units like behavioral settings within schools. True reform requires systematic changes that alter power relationships and regularities rather than just introducing new programs or curriculum. Surface-level reforms are unlikely to succeed without deeper changes to the school system structure.
Tools for Measuring Place-Based Systems Change
This document discusses tools for measuring place-based and systems change initiatives. It emphasizes that evaluating systems change requires understanding events, patterns, and systemic structures. Frameworks presented measure changes in behaviors, relationships, policies, communication and resource allocation across stakeholders. Effective evaluation orients towards learning, involves community perspectives, and monitors changes at multiple levels over time.
Creating Systematic School Change
This document discusses ensuring achievement for all students through comprehensive prevention and intervention systems. It addresses three major aspects: 1) a school community's beliefs about low-performing students, 2) the unifying staff philosophy, and 3) assurance systems like Response to Intervention. The key is having a belief that all students can succeed, staff committed to this, and multi-tiered support systems to identify and assist struggling students. Barriers to success are addressed, such as ensuring relevance, continuous improvement, early identification, and publishing results.
Change Management: Leadership Expectations & Implementation of New Tech Tools
Presenter: Michael Fedder
This session will look at the human side of change, why we resist change and what school leaders can do to increase the likelihood of successful change implementation.
Non-exclusionary Practices
The document outlines objectives and topics for a non-exclusion workshop for Reynolds School District leaders. The workshop aims to increase understanding of how culture, history and structures impact students, especially students of color. Leaders will explore their own biases and beliefs in relation to student discipline. They will examine non-exclusionary practices to reconnect marginalized students to learning. Essential questions focus on identity, cultural differences, purpose of discipline and evaluating success. The document discusses restorative practices and building relationships to reduce exclusionary discipline.
2016 Maya Angelou Presentation
This document provides an overview and guidance on college application essays for the 2016-2017 admissions cycle. It discusses the purpose and role of essays within a holistic admissions review. Essays are one part of an applicant's overall application profile, along with test scores, grades, activities, and letters of recommendation. The document reviews changes to the Common Application, Coalition Application, UC application, and essays required by specific colleges like CSU, Lafayette, and Lehigh. It provides tips for brainstorming, outlining, revising, and completing all required essays as part of a strategic application process. Contact information is included for further essay advising.
RECODE Collaborate Webinar: Designing your campus change strategy,
This document provides guidance on designing strategies for systemic change on university campuses. It discusses convening roundtables to identify challenges and desired changes. Problems are explored and categorized as simple, technically complicated, socially complicated, or complex depending on the level of agreement and certainty around the problem and solutions. Effective strategies match the problem type and engage stakeholders at multiple scales from individual to institutional. The document provides questions to analyze problems and considers how change might appear at different scales to identify leverage points within the system.
Motivating Clients to Develop Positive Financial Behaviors
One of the biggest challenges for financial educators and counselors is encouraging their students and/or clients to adopt positive financial behaviors that can enhance their financial security. This 90-minute webinar will describe ways to prompt positive behavior change in others. The webinar will begin with a discussion of three leading behavior change theories and the concepts of locus of control and time preference. It will then discuss 20 specific financial behavior change strategies, relevant concepts from the field of behavioral finance, and implications for financial practitioners. This presentation is the first of 3 presentations in the 3-day Personal Finance Virtual Learning Event.
Higher education wicked problem
The document discusses the concept of "wicked problems" which are difficult social or cultural problems to solve due to factors like contradictory knowledge, many stakeholders with differing opinions, economic burdens, and interconnectedness with other problems. Wicked problems are characterized by having solutions that depend on how the problem is framed, stakeholders with differing views, changing constraints over time, and no definitive solution. Higher education faces several wicked problems including transforming the system, ensuring quality, fostering creativity, and preparing students to deal with complex real-world problems. Collaboration across disciplines and stakeholders is needed to address these challenges.

Engaging students with digital tools
This document discusses using digital tools to engage students. It makes three key points:
1. Many studies of digital tools focus on the tools themselves rather than student engagement, assuming tools directly impact engagement. This is an oversimplification.
2. A critical theory of technology recognizes that while tools enable certain actions, their impact depends on how they are applied and the existing social system. Tools alone do not determine outcomes.
3. A better approach is to first identify the desired student engagement and actions, then select tools based on enabling those specific actions, rather than choosing tools first. The focus should be on using tools to facilitate pre-defined engagement goals.
Change management fundamentals presentation
This document appears to be a slide deck from a workshop on change management fundamentals. Some key points:
- The workshop aims to help participants strengthen their understanding of generic change principles and apply them in their daily work.
- It discusses the importance of change management in the NHS and explores concepts like the nature and stages of change, responses to change, and different approaches to managing change.
- The slide deck references several change management models and theorists and outlines some learning outcomes around understanding change as a process and gaining insights into effective change management.
Feedback ul1
(1) Feedback is most effective when it involves dialogue between students and teachers to raise awareness of quality performance and facilitate self-monitoring of learning.
(2) Effective feedback comes from multiple sources, not just teachers. It enhances lifelong learning by supporting goal-setting and planning.
(3) Assessment tasks should be designed to generate feedback from varied sources over time to improve performance through multiple stages of assignments. This shifts feedback from isolated acts to a designed curriculum sequence.
Values
This document discusses values and asks the reader to identify their top five values. It defines values as things that are important in how one lives and works. It then asks the reader to answer yes or no about lying to a friend and discusses scenarios where a friend shares a secret or about accepting refugees in Australia. Readers are asked to identify the values underlying the different choices and are then prompted to write down and explain their own top five values to a partner.
Strenghts defining moments
This document discusses personal development and defining moments. It includes challenges like pushups and an exercise where participants share defining moments in their lives when they overcame challenges through their strengths. Participants are asked to identify their own strengths and how they can practice using them more every day. They are also asked to imagine what their future would look like if they used their strengths at 100% daily.

Purpose
This document discusses finding one's purpose in life. It provides quotes about how the most important days are when you are born and when you discover your purpose. It encourages spending time writing about what you would do if you couldn't fail, and reflecting on what is deeply important like what kind of person you want to be. The document prompts reflecting on lists of dreams and goals, and what might stop us from believing these things are possible, like being outside our comfort zone, other people, or self doubt. It suggests collecting visual items that reflect one's purpose or passion.
Labeling
This document discusses labels and stereotypes. It defines a label as anything used to refer to a person or group, and a stereotype as a classification that assumes everyone in a group is the same based on limited understanding. It gives the example stereotype of Goths being labeled as wearing black clothes and makeup, being depressed, and disliked by society. The document goes on to describe an exercise where students attach labels to their foreheads and interact as if at a party to experience how it feels to be wrongly labeled or stereotyped. It prompts reflecting on whether students experience wrongful labels and listing positive qualities that reflect who they are.
Lesson 2 judgement of flavours
Flavour is a perceptual experience that results from a combination of taste and other sensations, while taste is the sense that distinguishes between sweet, sour, salty, and bitter qualities of substances in the mouth. The perception of flavour is influenced by numerous factors, including expectations based on prior ideas of how foods should taste (perceptual set), colour intensity, and texture. Texture contributes to flavour through the surface area of food that comes into contact with taste receptors - drinking carrot juice provides an immediate blast of flavour compared to eating a chunk of carrot, as the juice allows for maximum contact with receptors.
Lesson 1 visual illusion
The document discusses two common visual illusions: the Muller-Lyer illusion and the Ames room illusion. It provides learning objectives about explaining how these illusions distort visual perception. For the Muller-Lyer illusion, it evaluates biological, psychological, and social explanations, including that we evolved to perceive in 3D rather than 2D, and that our experiences of architecture can influence our perceptions. The Ames room illusion makes objects appear to change in size due to variations in perceived distance within a specially constructed room.
Lesson 6 influences on tate perception
Santa drank some beer from the fridge but immediately spit it out. Using his knowledge of the three stages of gustatory sensation, he was able to recognize that the beer had gone bad. The three stages are:
1. Reception - Molecules in the bad beer stimulated Santa's taste buds when dissolved by saliva.
2. Transduction - The receptor cells on Santa's taste buds converted the chemical energy into nerve impulses.
3. Transmission - The nerve impulses were sent to Santa's brain via electrochemical messages from the taste buds.
Lesson 5 taste perception - mouth to brain
Taste perception involves stimulus reception by taste receptors in taste buds located on papillae in the tongue. This stimulation is transduced by gustatory neurons into neural signals that travel to the primary gustatory cortex in the brain for perception of the five basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami.
Perceptual constancy and set
Camouflage is most effective when the appearance of an object, or figure, blends in with the characteristics of the background, or ground. A tiger's bright orange stripes strongly contrast with a grey urban landscape, making it easily visible, whereas in a jungle setting its camouflage allows it to blend in among the yellows, oranges, and browns of the vegetation. Perceptual constancy refers to perceiving an object as remaining the same despite changes to the image on the retina, while perceptual set is a predisposition to perceive something based on expectations.
Gestalt rules 20016
This document discusses several visual perception principles: figure-ground, which distinguishes figures from backgrounds based on detail; similarity, which groups similar elements; closure, which fills in missing parts of figures; and proximity, which groups objects that are physically close together. These principles are rules that the human visual system automatically applies to help organize and interpret visual stimuli in a consistent way.
Lesson 1 physiological and psychological charactertistics of responses to s...
This document provides an overview of physiological and psychological responses to stress. It discusses key concepts such as the definitions of stress, stressors, and the stress response. The stress response can be mild, acute, or chronic. There are also physiological (bodily) and psychological changes that occur when confronted by a stressor, such as increased arousal. Two models of stress are described: the Yerkes-Dodson curve and Hans Selye's General Adaptation Syndrome, which outlines three stages of the stress response - alarm reaction, resistance, and exhaustion.
Gestalt rules
Visual perception principles are rules that help organize and interpret visual stimuli in a consistent way. These innate rules include figure-ground, which distinguishes figures from backgrounds based on detail; similarity, which groups similar elements; closure, which fills in missing parts of figures; and proximity, which groups objects that are physically close together.

Binocular depth cues use both eyes to perceive depth and include retinal disparity and convergence. Retinal disparity occurs because each eye sees a slightly different image based on their positions, and convergence is the inward turning of the eyes to focus on closer objects. Monocular cues use a single eye and include linear perspective, interposition, texture gradient, relative size, and height in the visual field. A study by Turnbull found that the BaMbuti pygmies he observed did not use relative size well because their environment did not require that skill, showing that depth perception is learned rather than innate.
From the eye to the brain
After light is absorbed by photoreceptors in the retina, sensory information is converted into action potentials that are transmitted along the optic nerve. This transmission sends the sensory information to relevant areas of the brain for perception, where the visual information is processed and interpreted. The retina plays a key role in this process by receiving and absorbing light, and processing images before the information is sent to the brain.
Sensation and perception
Sensation involves detecting and responding to sensory information through sensory receptors. Perception is the process of assigning meaning to incoming sensory information. Sensory receptors have receptive fields, which are the areas they can detect stimuli. Reception detects sensory information, which is then converted into neural signals via transduction. Transmission carries these signals along neural pathways to the brain for interpretation, where meaning is derived. While these processes are rapid, we are only consciously aware when a stimulus is ambiguous. Sensation is the detection of sensory information, while perception gives meaning to those detections.
Lesson 3 attachment and emotional development
This document discusses attachment and emotional development in infants. It explains that attachment refers to the emotional bond between an infant and caregiver. It describes John Bowlby's theory that infants have an innate drive to form attachments, which improves survival and provides a foundation for healthy emotional development. The document also discusses factors like genetics, temperament, and early life experiences that can influence the type of attachment formed, noting that secure attachments are most likely when caregivers are sensitively responsive to infants' signals.
Lesson 2 sensitive and critical periods
Sensitive periods are times when an individual is more responsive to environmental experiences or learning, while critical periods are specific times when lack of certain stimuli can harm development. Both refer to windows in psychological growth when outside influences have heightened impact.
Lesson 1 life span development
Psychologists refer to development as changes that occur over time in areas such as physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development. Development progresses sequentially from simple to complex behaviors, with each new behavior building on those achieved previously. Individual differences in development are influenced by both heredity (genes) and environment. Maturation refers to orderly genetic changes in the nervous system that must occur for certain behaviors or mental processes to develop, according to the principle of readiness.
Brain function – the evidence from brain damage
This document discusses language centers in the brain. It describes Broca's area, located in the frontal lobe of the left hemisphere, which is involved in speech production. Damage to Broca's area results in Broca's aphasia, characterized by difficulty producing speech with short, simple sentences. It also describes Wernicke's area, located in the left temporal lobe, which is involved in speech comprehension. Damage to Wernicke's area causes Wernicke's aphasia, with difficulty comprehending speech and producing nonsensical sentences. The right hemisphere can be involved in emotional language and music when the left hemisphere is damaged.
Lesson 1 plasticity
The brain has the ability to change its structure and function through experience, such as the development of myelin, the formation of new connections between neurons, and synaptic pruning. The frontal lobe is an area of the brain that exhibits plasticity. Brain plasticity has implications for learning, memory, development, and recovery from injury.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Lesson 2 the dynamic nature of the internal and external (operating) environments
- 1. Lesson 2: The dynamic nature of the internal and external (operating) environments
- 3. Question from last lesson Explain the difference between proactive and reactive change To be proactive is to initiate change rather than simply to react to events. To be reactive is to wait for a change to occur and then respond to it.
- 4. The dynamic nature of schools Think about our own school and identify the following: • What changes within your school day? • How do these changes occur? • How are you notified of changes? • Where do these changes stem from? • What drives how this school operates? • Why does this school offer an extra or co-curricular program? • Who has an interest in how this school runs? • In relation to the question above, which of the following two categories do these people fall under? Place them under the appropriate category in the table. People with an everyday, hands-on input People with a vested interest
- 5. • In relation to the question above, why are all these stakeholders important? • What would happen if the school decided to have a longer lunch break to accommodate an assembly? Where does this direction come from? • What would happen if the school was to lose a whole day of classes and have a fundraising walkathon? Where does this direction come from? • What is the difference between the above two scenario
