DAY 3 - Good Morning!


Good Morning! Please read this slide as we start our day . . .

At your table you will find a sentence strip and a black marker. Please write on the sentence strip a “slogan,” “phrase,” or “thought” that has been significant for you during the previous two days. Think of what might go on a “bumper sticker” for someone’s car.

These will be shared with the group shortly after we begin this morning.

How to Build Classrooms that promote academics, social/emotional learning and Character



Don’t ask: “What’s broken, and how do we

fix it?”

Ask: “What’s working, and how can we do more

of it?”


Our actions can be determined by reason (the rider) or emotion (the elephant)

How is change achieved?

How is change achieved?


Motivating the Elephant

• Telling: Explanation, descriptions• Observing: Stories told, read or seen (video or

movie)• Vicarious experience: Testimonials (others

describing personal experience)• Doing: Experiential activity generating self-

discovery and an emotional commitment


Insights About Change

• Knowledge does not change behavior; it must reach the emotions

• Narrow the choices• Simplify• Set specific behavioral goals• Be specific and concrete• Go for easy and early successes• Use stories, images, simulations, and hands-

on experience


Influencer: The Power to Change Anything by Kerry Patterson, et.al. (2010)


Change

In almost all successful change efforts, the sequence of change is not ANALYZE-THINK-

CHANGE:Rather

SEE-FEEL-CHANGE. -- Kotter and Cohen - The Heart of Change (2002)


People will not change entrenched attitudes or behaviors unless they believe two things:

It’s worth it.• I

t’s worth the effort.

• What I will get is more valuable than what I give up.

I can do it.


As you consider your action plan, keep in mind the need to …• Identify ideal outcomes; what will success

will look like (must be specific in terms of specific beliefs, attitudes and conduct)

1. Articulate and advocate the Vision

• Has your school or organization replaced “I can’t” belief with an “I can’t yet” belief?

2. Analyze evidence of Growth Mindset of

organization

• Knowledge does not produce change; emotion does; instill and promote vision 3. Activate Emotions

• Identify achievable steps and acknowledge them when achieved

4. Establish Incremental Objectives

• Identify people and programs doing it right; ; lack of initial success is certain and natural on the road to better

5. Identify Success Models

• Acknowledge; /celebrate good models and good behavior6. Celebrate Success


Sphere of InfluenceThree areas of impact:

•personal (their own lives)•professional (within the sphere of their work)•some influence (areas that they don’t control, but can influence those who do)

On post-it notes, write an impact you can make in each of

the three areas.

Stick your post-its in the appropriate area on the appropriate

sheet.

Use this as a tool for getting ideas from

others in their constituencies.


• What are the positive things that your school is already doing related to teaching and modeling the key beliefs in the 3 domains?

• Considering all that we already do effectively, what specific strategies should we consider doing that will enhance our school’s character development efforts in the 3 domains?
