Open-Ended Statement “When you think about [innovation] what concerns do you have? Please be frank, and answer in complete sentences.” Hall & Hord, p. 68
Stages of Concern Questionnaire • SoCQ - 35-item questionnaire • Valid and reliable instrument • SoC Quick Scoring Device • Technical manual to assist in scoring and interpreting information • Capability of developing concern profile over time Hall & Hord, p. 69; Hall et al., 1979

Interpreting Concern Profile Identify the peaks and valleys . . . • Peaks – intense concerns • Valleys – little or no concerns Identify potential intervention activities . . .
Interventions Hall, George, & Rutherford, 1986
Talking Points • Think about planning a professional development workshop in your district . . . • How were the teachers’ concerns identified? • How did the workshop match the concerns of the • individuals?
Comparison of SoC and LoU • “Stages of Concern (SoC) addresses the affective side of change – people’s reactions, feelings, perceptions, and attitudes.” • “Levels of Use (LoU) has to do with behaviors and portrays how people are acting with respect to specified change.” Hall & Hord, p. 81
Levels of Use • Identify if person is a user or nonuser . . . • Three nonuse levels • Five use levels
Assessing Individual’s Level of Use • LoU Branching Interview • Quick assessment of a person’s LoU • LoU Focused Interview • In-depth interview by a certified interviewer and analyzed using a specific matrix
LoU Branching Interview Are you currently looking for information about the innovation? No – LoU O, I Have you decided to use it and set a date to begin use? II Yes No - LoU 0, I, II Are you using the innovation? III User-Oriented Yes – LoU III, IVA, IVB, V, VI IVA What kinds of changes are you making in your use of the innovation? Nothing Unusual No – LoU IVB, VI IVB No Are you coordinating your use of the innovation with others, including another not in your original group of users? Are you planning or exploring making major modifications or replacing the innovation? VI Impact-Oriented – LoU IVB, V, VI Yes V No Hall & Hord, p. 89 Yes – LoU V
Categories for Levels of Use Hall & Hord, p. 90
Talking Points • Think about teachers in your district implementing new knowledge and skills . . . • How were the teachers’ levels of use identified? • How does the teachers’ levels of use impact student • achievement?
Innovation Configuration (IC) Map “The IC map is composed of ‘word picture’ descriptions of the different operational forms of an innovation or change.” Hall & Hord, p. 41
Three Key Questions • What does the innovation look like when it is in use? • What would I see in classrooms where it is used well (and not so well)? • What will teachers and students be doing when the innovation is in use? Hall & Hord, p. 49
Talking Points • Think about planning and implementing a professional development program in your district . . . • Who should develop an IC map? • What effect does the results from an IC map have on • continuous progress?
Change Facilitator (CF) Styles • Initiator • Manager • Responder
Initiator • “push teachers, students, parents, and personnel in the district office to support the things that will help students learn, teachers learn, and the school move forward.” • “focused on assessment, instruction, and curriculum.” Hall & Hord, p. 131
Manager • “do not rush in.” • “buy time, which they use to study and learn more about the change and to consider whether they should have the school engage in it.” Hall & Hord, p. 133
Responder • “most willing to have others lead.” • “delay making decisions.” Hall & Hord, p. 133
CF Profile Hall & Hord, p. 138

Guskey, p. 157
Methods of Assessing Organization Support and Change • Direct observations • Analysis of district or school records • Analysis of minutes from meetings • Questionnaires • Structured interviews • Personal learning logs and reflective journals • Participant portfolios Guskey, p. 173
Concerns-Based Adoption Model • Stages of Concern • Change Facilitator Stages of Concern • Levels of Use • Innovation Configuration Map • Hall & Hord, 2001
Methods of Assessing Participants’ Use of New Knowledge and Skills • Direct observations • Participant interviews or conferencing • Supervisor interviews or conferencing • Student interviews or conferencing • Questionnaires • Focus groups • Implementation logs and reflective journals • Participant portfolios Guskey, p. 202
Change Facilitator Team “A key responsibility of all CF Team members is to continuously let the implementors know that the change/innovation is important, that their efforts to implement it are valued, and that there will be continuing backup and support.” Hall & Hord, p. 157
