Before Implementing Change . . .
How do we structure for change? What do you believe needs to happen before
undergoing any change initiative? Take a couple of minutes at your table to
discuss, be prepared to share your ideas
![Page 6: Structuring For Change](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032415/5681344b550346895d9b3161/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Take Your Pulse
Is your school ready for change? Consider the culture/climate of your school
How do you know? What do/will you use as indicators?
![Page 7: Structuring For Change](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032415/5681344b550346895d9b3161/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Purpose
Identify the purpose Identifying the purpose will contribute to buy-in,
ownership, and sustainability Ask yourself this question:
Is the change that is planned a result of feeling the heat or seeing the light?
![Page 8: Structuring For Change](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032415/5681344b550346895d9b3161/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Change without purpose is just rearranging the seats on the
Titanic…the boat is still going down.

Key Structures for Change Incentive
Do key stakeholders see purpose for the change? Data
What is driving you to the need for change (internal and/or external forces)?
Vision If the change was to take place, what would it look like (start with
the end in mind) Skills and Resources
Do you have the skills and resources necessary for the change to take place?
Plan of Action Have you designed the plan, and who has participated in that
design? Evaluation
How will you measure success, and at what points?

Accountability and Change
![Page 11: Structuring For Change](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032415/5681344b550346895d9b3161/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Accountability: A Definition
“An attitude of continually asking what else can I do to rise above my circumstances and achieve the results I desire? It is a process of seeing it, owning it, solving it and doing it. It requires a level of ownership that includes making, keeping and proactively answering for personal commitments. It is a perspective that embraces both current and future efforts rather than reactive and historical explanations.”

Structuring for change requires operating above the line. Failure
to operate above the line will result in failed initiatives. Is your
school above the line?

The Knowing-Doing Gap

Consider This…
Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle…
When the sun comes up, you better start running.
