4 Wrong Ways to Change


Wrong Way #1: Start with Content, Curriculum & Pedagogy

Not (Just) Content, Curriculum & Pedagogy

Schein’s 3 Levels of Organizational Culture


E!ective Way #1: Start with Culture, Emotion & Tell a New Story


Wrong Way #2: Seek “Buy-In” from a committee of both supporters & skeptics.

Not (Just) Content, Curriculum & Pedagogy

Change is an academic

NIMBY problem

“Innova(on is great. Just don’t change my course.”


E!ective Way #2: Make provisional change in an accelerator/incubator with the committed. Seek

formal approval of e!ective changes after successful experimentation.


Wrong Way #3: Make big plans, raise lots of money, then make change.

Not (Just) Content, Curriculum & Pedagogy You don’t know enough to plan “a new model of education.” Experimentation is required.

ahead.


Wrong Way #4: Focus on disciplinary content revision.
