This document discusses the Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM), which focuses on facilitating change at the individual level. The CBAM uses three diagnostic dimensions to measure change: Stages of Concern, Levels of Use, and Innovation Configurations. Stages of Concern describes clients' feelings about change, Levels of Use describes their behaviors and actions, and Innovation Configurations uses component checklists to assess clients' implementation of innovations. The CBAM aims to provide strategies and support to intended adopters through collecting and measuring data over time to prescribe specific interventions for implementing change.

2. Background
• First proposed by Hall, Wallace, and Dossett
• Change begins at the individual level, not the system
level.
• Intended adaptor must facilitate how the change can
benefit the client in order for the client to
understand and adjust to the change appropriately.
• Focuses on their clients needs and progress
o Individual (client) will either adopt or reject decision
themselves.
o Therefore, change must be applicable to relevant to
client for intended change to occur.

(Ellsworth, 2000, pages 134-149)

3. • Change facilitators only can offer strategies and
support with the use of diagnostic tools.
• Use instruments to collect data to prescribe
diagnostic interventions
 This leads to specific strategies for
implementation.
• Measure and administer multiple times
o Change is a process, not an event.
o Change needs to be observed in practice rather
than discussed.

6. STAGES OF CONCERN
Stage 6: Refocusing
I have some ideas about something that might work even better
Stage 5: Collaboration
“How might I integrate my use with other teacher’s use?”
Stage 4: Consequence
“What effect is my using it having on student’s learning?”
Stage 3: Management:
“Just using it is taking all of my time!”
Stage 2: Personal
“How will using it affect me?”
Stage 1: Informational
“I would like to know more about it.”
Stage 0: Awareness
“I am not concerned about the innovation”
(Ellsworth, 2000, pages 134-149)

7. LEVELS OF USE
VIDEO

8. • have not attempted to use the innovationLevel 0: Non Use
• learning the innovationLevel 1: Orientation
• gearing up for the first attemptLevel 2: Preparation
• focused on the routine aspects of using the
innovationLevel 3: Mechanical
• stabilized usageLevel 4a: Routine
• considering changes and improvements
Level 4b:
Refinement
• share learning and favorable outcomes with
colleaguesLevel 5:Integration
• Re-evaluate effectiveness and examine new
innovationLevel 6: Renewal

9. INNOVATION CONFIGURATION VIDEO

10. Innovcatio
• Change Facilitators
o to ensure that they can use it to advise teachers and
administrators
• Administrators
o to ensure that the innovation as defined is consistent with
their vision.
• Teachers
o to ensure that they understand what implementations is
supposed to look like in their classrooms.
• Evaluators
o to ensure that they understand what they are supposed to be
looking for when assessing implementation.
