Change Matrix

Opener


Learning Target

I can use what I know about policy types and

implementation to consider implications of leading

change.

Success Criteria:

Identify the 3 types of policies (according to Lowi)

Describe themes of successful change implementation

Provide examples of effective change implementation


3 Types of Policies (Lowi, 1964)

DISTRIBUTIVE POLICIES

DISTRIBUTIVE POLICIES bestow gifts on citizens – goods, services, or special privileges

Subsidies

Contracts

Nonregulatory licensing

Used to influence behavior



REGULATORY POLICIES

REGULATORY POLICIES are formalized rules expressed in general terms and applied to large groups of people. They reduce or expand alternatives for the targets. The rules imply enforcement by the government and penalties for those who break them.

Licenses

Laws, rules, regulations, and guidelines

Several groups with conflicting interests are usually concerned with regulatory policies.



REDISTRIBUTIVE POLICIES

REDISTRIBUTIVE POLICIES shift resources or power from one social group to another.

Economic

Power

Ideological: Controversial and cuts closer than any others along class lines; often involve intense conflict



Imagine a leadership team who, after much discussion and deliberation, agree that numerous policy changes must be made over the next few years.

7 minutes:

In groups of 3, SORT the types of policies into categories:

Distributive

Regulatory

Redistributive

Why do wise educational leaders consider policy types when planning the introduction of several changes?


3 Types of Policies (Lowi, 1964)How Ed Leaders Can Manage Policy Change

Lowi’s work can help us plan policy changes over time so that we

gradual introduce several changes.

Avoid:

Introduce too many policies of the same type too close together

Making too many policy changes that involve the same individuals

and groups at the same time


Themes in Successful Implementations

Monitoring and feedback

Frequent visits and conversations

Coordinate actions to resolve problems

Ongoing assistance

Coping with problems


“Understanding Change” Fullan

Create 6 groups.

Bremerton: One group of 3 and one group of 4

Seattle: Three groups of 3 (one with Erin) and one group of 2

Each group selects a number between 1-6. (Each number may only be

selected once.)


“Understanding Change” Fullan

The goal is not to innovate the most

It is not enough to have the best

ideas

Appreciate the implementation dip

Redefine resistance

Reculturating is the name of the

game

Never a checklist, always

complexity

15 minutes

Your group has been assigned one

of Fullan’s “pearls of wisdom.”

Provide a 3-5 minute explanation

that covers the following:

1. What it means (your interpretation

of the concept)

2. A “real world” example of

where/when this might be/has

been particularly true/useful
