Chapter 5 & Chapter 6 Team: danfontanez, Dan McAlpin, Jamie Naple, reyita Perez, Deon Rodgers, jim Tiffin and Christina Wawrzyniak
Two Types of Change • First order change and second order change • Day – to –day first-order changes utilize the 21 responsibilities • Emphasize 7 of the responsibilities
First-Order Change • Incremental: the next most obvious step to take in a school or district. • Fine tunes the system through a series of small steps that do not depart radically from the past. • Traditional solutions suffice: Single-loop learning (Argyris & Schon) occurs when an organization approaches a problem from the perspective of strategies that have succeeded in the past
Second-Order Change Deep Change: alters the system in fundamental ways, offering a dramatic shift and requiring new ways of thinking and acting. Type II Problems (well defined but not clear-cut solutions) and Type III Problems (current ways of thinking do not provide a solution). Double-Loop Learning: no existing strategy suffices to solve a given problem. The problem must be conceptualized differently or new strategies must be conceived.
Are the Following First- or Second-Order? • Ensuring that school culture reflects norms of cooperation and collaboration • Establishing concrete student achievement goals • Protecting staff members from undue interruptions • Ensuring that teachers are up-to-date on issues related to curriculum, instruction, and assessment • Promoting the value of working at the edge of one’s competence • Facilitating innovative changes in reading and writing instruction in all content areas • Transforming parent and community involvement • Addressing minority student achievement gaps • Diminishing the influence of gang behavior
Doing the Right Work • Comprehensive School Reform (CSR) • Direct Instruction • School Development • Success for All • Site-Specific Approach • School –Level Factors • Teach – Level Factors • Student – Level Factors
