  1. Making Change Happen The Concerns-Based Adoption Model

  2. What do we know about Change? • Lots of research on the adoption of innovations, know as “Diffusion Research” - see Everett Rodgers • Rural Sociology, Government programs in the 3rd World, Educational innovations, all show the same kind of patterns in adoption and adopters • One educational model is call the “Concerns-Based Adoption Model”

  3. Assumptions of the Concerns- Based Adoption Model (CBAM) • Change is a Process, not an event • It is made by individuals first then by institutions - It is a highly personal • Change entails developmental growth in feelings and skills • Interventions must be related to the people first, and the innovation second • CBAM connects level of use to stages of concern

  4. Levels of use - Stages of Concern • Non-Use - Awareness • Orientation - Informational • Preparation - Personal • Mechanical - Management • Routine - Consequence • Refinement - Collaboration • Integration - Refocusing • Renewal

  5. Adopter Types • Innovator • Leader • Early Majority • Late Majority • Resistor

  6. Using CBAM • Be aware of concerns your faculty will likely have • Design the change to address these concerns in advance • Remember that you don’t have to convince everybody, and know who you have to convince • Pay attention to ALL aspects of the change - especially the 5 elements of reform

  7. Five Elements of Institutional Reform • Exemplary materials and practices • Support for exemplary materials and practices • Ongoing mentoring and professional development • Assessment that is aligned with instruction • Departmental and institutional support

  8. Making Change Happen-The Strategic Planning Institute • Designed for department teams, including Dean and Chair/Head • 4-5 days of examples on solutions to all of the 5 elements of reform • Teams produce a strategic plan for implementation in their departments • If you want this to happen, email Duncan McBride and tell him to fund it
