The following five strategies have been suggested as ways to work through their resistance. Frame initiatives as experiments (inquiry approach) rather than mandates. Label emotions (e.g., “It seems like you’re a bit unsure about this.”) Highlight a gap. Provide opportunities for peer observation and showcase quick wins. Connect new practices to teachers’ existing values. Please give specific examples of how each of these five strategies could be used and why they are effective. 01:51:08 Molly Hamaker-Teals: Interested to see what Claude thought was most important. Of these strategies, perhaps the most crucial is connecting to existing values, as it helps teachers see new initiatives as aligned with their core purpose rather than competing with it. When combined with framing changes as experiments, these approaches create a safe space for professional growth while honoring teachers' expertise and commitment to student success. 01:51:10 Amy Wright: When they recognize a problem they care about, they are more willing to consider new approaches to address it. 01:51:34 Jenni Donohoo: Reacted to "Interested to see wh..." with 👍 01:51:39 Jenni Donohoo: Reacted to "When they recognize ..." with 👍 01:51:39 Paulette Johnson: "I noticed that some of you seem a bit hesitant about this new tool for formative assessment. I understand that new technology can feel overwhelming, especially when you already have a system that works for you. Let’s take a moment to talk about those concerns, and I’ll walk through the tool’s features with you step-by-step." 01:51:59 Brooke French: Highlight a Gap (Help Teachers See the Need for Change) Example: Show a side-by-side comparison of student work—one using a traditional approach and another using the new strategy. Ask, “What differences do you notice?“ You might also share a data point, such as, “Right now, only 50% of our students are writing at grade level by the end of the year. What do you think might be getting in the way?“ Why it’s effective: Creates a sense of purpose for the change. Encourages teachers to identify areas for improvement rather than feeling blamed. Makes the need for change concrete and relevant. 01:52:21 ashley barker, NLL she/her: Reacted to "I have to go to a me..." with 👍 01:52:57 Ryan Foster: The word "experiment" was a point of discussion in our group. ChatGPT had this response to why it is an effective strategy and renamed it "professional inquiry": Why It’s Effective: Teachers are more likely to engage when they feel like they are part of a professional inquiry rather than being forced to comply with a top-down directive. It shifts the focus from compliance to curiosity and professional agency. 01:53:15 Kim Fry: Reacted to "The word "experiment..." with 👍🏻 01:53:16 Paula Dawson: Connecting new practices to teachers’ existing values is key to fostering buy-in and sustained implementation. Here are a few strategies: 1. Identify Core Values Conduct discussions or surveys to understand what teachers value most (e.g., student success, equity, collaboration). Frame new practices as extensions of these values. 2. Make Connections Explicit Show how the new practice aligns with teachers’ existing beliefs about effective teaching. Use real-life examples of how similar strategies have positively impacted students. 3. Use Teacher-Led Reflections Facilitate discussions where teachers reflect on their current practices and how the new approach enhances what they already do well. 4. Empower Teacher Leadership Identify early adopters who resonate with both the values and the new practices. Encourage them to model and advocate for the changes. 01:53:17 Jenni Donohoo: Reacted to ""I noticed that some..." with 👍 01:53:25 Kim Fry: Reacted to " Highlight a Gap (He..." with 👍🏻 01:53:27 Gina Yonts: Reacted to "The word "experiment..." with ❤️ 01:53:29 Jenni Donohoo: Reacted to " Highlight a Gap (He..." with 👍 01:53:31 Kim Fry: Reacted to ""I noticed that some..." with 👍🏻 01:53:36 Kim Fry: Reacted to "When they recognize ..." with 👍🏻 01:53:40 Kim Fry: Reacted to "Interested to see wh..." with 👍🏻 01:53:43 Jenni Donohoo: Reacted to "The word "experiment..." with 👍 01:53:49 Monica Chandler: Reacted to "The word "experiment..." with 👍 01:54:01 Jenni Donohoo: Reacted to "Connecting new pract..." with 👍 01:54:15 David Myers: Thank you this was helpful
