The ADVERB BY UZMA MINHAJ
ACTION PLAN WHAT ARE ACTION PLANS? ACTION PLANS HELP TEACHERS MAKE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THEIR INSTRUCTION BY ASKING THEM TO IDENTIFY THE CHANGES THEY WANT TO MAKE AND TO DESCRIBE HOW THEY WANT TO GO ABOUT MAKING THOSE CHANGES. EFFECTIVE ACTION PLANS ALSO INCLUDE TASKS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER.
WHY ARE ACTION PLANS NEEDED? RESEARCH INDICATES THAT ACTION PLANS SERVE THREE PURPOSES IN MAKING CHANGES HAPPEN.
1. ACTION PLANS FORCE TEACHERS TO DECLARE WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT PEOPLE ARE MORE LIKELY TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IF THEY HAVE SPECIFIC, CONCRETE GOALS. BY PUTTING A GOAL IN WRITING, THEY MAKE A COMMITMENT TO AN IDEA, AND BY SHARING THAT GOAL WIITH OTHERS, THEY MAKE THEMSELVES ACCOUNTABLE FOR ACHIEVING IT.
2. ACTION PLANS ANTICIPATE PROBLEMS AND IDENTIFY RESOURCES. WHILE TEACHING, IT IS OFTEN DIFFICULT TO TAKE THE TIME NECESSARY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS USING NEW KNOWLEDGE AND MUCH EASIER TO GO BACK TO FAMILIAR METHODS. BY PREDICTING POTENTIAL CHALLENGES, TEACHERS CAN BE PROACTIVE AND CREATE SUPPORT SYSTEMS THAT WILL HELP THEM WHEN THEY NEED IT.
3. LISTING THE STEPS OF A PROCESS OF CHANGE CAN MOTIVATE TEACHERS TO CONTINUE AS THEY CHECK OF BOTH SMALL AND GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS. NOTHING MOTIVATES LIKE SUCCESS, AND THE FEELING OF ACCOMPLISHMENT PEOPLE GET FROM SMALL VICTORIES CAN INSPIRE THEM TO CONTINUE IN THE FACE OF CHALLENGES.
HOW ARE ACTION PLANS MADE? MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE DEVELOP ACTION PLANS, IT MATCHES WITH OUR TEACHING AND LEARNING STYLES. REMEMBER THAT WHENEVER ACTION PLANS DESIGN IT KEEPS THE TASKS AS SPECIFIC AND CONCRETE AS POSSIBLE SO ACCOMPLISHMENTS CAN BE ASSESSED OBJECTIVELY.
