Substantive Change Recovering Institutions Declining Institutions • Substantive Strategies • Diversified products & services • Increased marketing • Downsized & retrenched • Substantive Strategies • Diversified products & services • Increased marketing • Downsized & retrenched • Symbolic Strategies • Instituted symbolic events that signaled the end of the degeneration and the beginning of the regeneration • Elaborated partnership and activated image-builders • Emphasized messages that employees were valued and respected • Symbolic Strategies • Did not use symbolic communication, or allowed events to be interpreted negatively • Maintained status quo relationships • Did not manage the “dirty dozen” Source: Kim Cameron, University of Michigan 14 Five Steps In Transformation Institutionalize the change Generate commitment Articulate a vision of abundance Overcome resistance Create readiness for change Source: Kim Cameron, University of Michigan 15 16 Creating Readiness • Compare current performance with best practice best competitors ideal performance stated goals past or others’ improvement investment or capacity constituency expectations • Create a new language • Explain why and “WIIFM” • Build positive energy networks and champions • Provide best-self feedback • Institute symbolic events • Identify what will stay the same and will be preserved • Communicate, communicate, communicate Source: Kim Cameron, University of Michigan Overcoming Resistance • Identify sources of resistance • Encourage participation • Celebrate then bury the past • Preserve the self-esteem (or face) of the resistor • Identify benefits and future opportunities • Communicate genuine caring • Find areas of common agreement • Utilize influence techniques (e.g., data, coalitions, emotional appeal) • Identify areas of past success • Develop an influence map Source: Kim Cameron, University of Michigan 17 18 Identifying Sources of Resistance Key Players Resist It 1 Let It Happen C 2 C C = Current State R CR C R 5 6 Make It Happen R 3 4 Help It Happen C C R R R = Required for successful change Source: Kim Cameron, University of Michigan 19 Articulating a Vision of Abundance • Focus on positive deviance • Include right-brained and left-brained images • Identify exemplary stories and symbols • Connect to core, personalized values • Be consistent with the organization’s core culture • Be simple and brief • Use superlatives and passionate language • Communicate and model in numerous ways • Utilize symbols • Ensure source credibility • integrity • competence • inspiration Source: Kim Cameron, University of Michigan Positive deviance • Heliotropic affects • Positive deviance: performance far above the norm • Example: cleanup and closure of a nuclear weapons production facility • completed 60 years ahead of schedule, • $30 billion under budget, • 13 times cleaner than required by federal standards, and • exceeded every knowledgeable expert’s prediction of what was possible . (Cameron, 2008; Cameron & Levin, 2006) 21 Generating Commitment to the Vision • Create small, visible successes • Use principles of recreation • Generate opportunities for public commitment • Create a sense of calling and profound purpose • Foster empowerment and involvement in teams • Consider influence techniques (e.g., data, coalitions, • • • • incentives) Provide opportunities for people to do what they do best Use positive language and positive ratios Clarify financial, social, intellectual, and ideological capital Frequent and unremitting communication Source: Kim Cameron, University of Michigan 22 Strategies for Addressing Non-Commitment SOURCE: Anderson,2003 Forms of Non-Commitment 1. Not participating 2. Vocalizing disagreement 3. Offering contrary alternatives 4. Building a case against 5. Voting in opposition 6. Criticizing in the media 7. Using others (e.g., students) as pawns 8. Attacking champions 9. Sabotaging 10. Exiting Enhancing Commitment • Include others in planning (1) • Listen to resistors (2) • Build coalitions (5) • Present counter arguments (4) • Make deals (1) • Reason with resistors (3) • Build relationships (5) • Provide rewards (1) • Work for consensus (2) • Hire supportive individuals (1) • Ignore resistors (6) • Coercion (7) • Encourage resistors to exit (9) Source: Kim Cameron, University of Michigan Institutionalizing the Change • Turn students into teachers • Develop role models and leadership successors • Specify metrics, measures, and milestones • Institute ritual, tell stories, and create traditions • Align the social system and the structure • Institute PMI • Utilize the human resource management system • Select people who fit • Measure and appraise based on the new vision • Reward and recognize congruence • Provide development • Over-communicate • Foster organizational learning Source: Kim Cameron, University of Michigan 23 ADAPTIVE LEADERSHIP Ronald Heifetz Definition of adaptive Definition of Leadership Building informal authority Adaptive Interventions How do we know when the challenge is adaptive?

PD Questions to be answered: • What SEL standards are not currently included by implementing Common Core standards? • What existing resources can be slightly modified to support this gap and support the shift to common Core AND SEL standards? • How can these existing resources be supported by the District to be the champions and experts of SEL integrated Common Core curricula? Needed Strategy: What can be done by whom to support this coverage? With each phase of implementation, SCUSD will have gained more insight on effective SEL implementation strategies Year 3 Year 2 Year 1 • Awareness • 4 pilot sites (PBIS based) • Integration of learning & practices • 10-15 sites (receiving schools and LBHS feeder schools) • District-wide Implementation • Rest of the district 55-60 sites CASEL Training Sessions Professional Learning for Sites Aug SEL Orientation School Kit Orientation Vision and Resources (1,3. 0r 6 hours) (1 hour) (3 hours) Cohort 2 Cohort 1 Evidence based Professional Programming Improvement Learning and Integration (2 hours) (2 hours) Cohort 2 (subsegment) Cohort 1 Oct Cohort 2 (subsegment) √ √ √ √ √ √ (2 hours) √ √ √ √ Dec Jan √ = based on demands of schools Professional Learning for District Trainers, Ambassadors: watch site training (need to set criteria for expectations) Iris & Sue to plan 9/27th training Awareness session for Ambassadors (1hr) ToT: Watch training and be proficient on toolkot 9/27th Instructional specialists Sept Nov Site Based Coaching √ √ (+clusters of SLT) Workplan Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May X X X X X X X X X X Workgroups X X X X X X X X X X Cross District Leadership X X X Ambassadors Cohorts Community Forums Governance X X X X?

Identifying a concrete problem of practice — the specific aspect of instructional improvement that the school or district is wrestling with; 2. Observing and recording descriptive feedback of several classroom lessons for about 20 minutes each by a well-trained group of observers; 3. Building a body of evidence by describing and analyzing (but not evaluating or judging) what was seen in the classrooms and predicting what students are learning; and 4. Making recommendations for the school’s next steps in addressing the instructional problem. Datawise 8 Steps PELP Michael Fullan - The Six Secrets of Change 1. Secret One: Love Your Employees 2.
