Understandably, some find it incredibly daunting and confronting. I spent a lot of last year paving the way for things in my departments last year and it's starting to pay off as more and more come on board. For many they needed to see it in practice first.<BR/><BR/>The few can snowball pretty quickly from what I've seen.<BR/><BR/>Jean-Louis - any change takes time and patience.

It is difficult for some of us to come to terms that our students brains have changed, yet some of our teachers' brains have not. This presents a significant challenge for faculty leaders and curriculum coordinators as we aim to change the way our teachers think. Considering the changes we speak of in students happen over generations, yet we insist our teachers make these leaps in years (or less).<BR/><BR/>The best advice I've heard is to work with the innovators and early adopters. Their progress will be reward for your efforts as a leader. Do it for the few, rather than the lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
