“There is a perfectly logical reason for every stupid thing that anyone does, because no one does anything that they think is stupid. ” Rebecca Draper (Mom)
Use this template. . . When you plan change When you meet resistance When change is stalled When you need an employee to change
What would you like to change at your school? • I want teachers to. . . • I want students to. . . • I want parents to. . . • Write down one or two change items
Take a few minutes and share your change item with your table You get about 1 minute each!
• No involvement— No ownership! • No engagement— No commitment! • No input— No output!
We are schizophrenics! • Rider—logical, analytical • Elephant—emotional, powerful • Clocky! The Happiness Hypothesis
Successful change must address three factors. . . • Mind—Is there a good reason? Does it make sense? Is there a first step? Is there a goal? • Heart—Is it inspiring? Do you care? Will it make things better? Can we do it? • Environment—Are there obstacles? Can we make it simpler? Can we make it automatic?
Switch by Chip and Dan Heath • Direct the Rider—the thinking part— resistance is often a lack of clarity • Motivate the Elephant—the emotions —laziness is often exhaustion, you need Elephant emotion to keep going • Clear the Path—the environment—a people problem is often a situation problem, eliminate the road-blocks
Think about yourself • You have a preferred “change style” • Rider—logical, analyzer, critical, wary, subject to over think, big picture • Elephant—emotional, loyal, traditional, easy-going, stubborn, defender of status quo, now focus • Which are you?
Direct the Rider Motivate the Elephant Clear the Path
• Direct the Rider • Find the Bright Spots • Script the Critical Moves • Point to the Destination
As I share, you write down your ideas for each required change facet!
Direct the Rider. . . Find the Bright Spots • Avoid our tendency to see negative and reach for punishment solution • Superstars, Backbones and Mediocres (Todd Whitaker) • Clone your superstars!
“Bright Spots” is counter-intuitive. . . Your son brings home a report card with 1 A 4 B’s 1 F What do you talk about?
Middle school Assistant Principal with 1400 students! Much of my time dealing with? ? ? Tardies!!
Direct the Rider. . . Find the Bright Spots • Found teachers who had few or no tardies and asked how they did it! • Then engaged all teachers in a discussion on tardy problem, suggestions, ideas for improvement, lot of listening and recording • Agreed on definition of tardy!
Direct the Rider. . . Script the Critical Moves • Use Tardy definition (eliminate decision paralysis) • Put Pre-Assignment on Board • Start class on the bell
Direct the Rider. . . Point to the Destination • Disney employee language • Every Child a Graduate • Educator tendency is to over analyze, discuss, review, research and use education-ese language
I administered three Reading diagnostics: CWT, Assessment of Comprehension, and Monster Test. Using the CWT, I identified my classes’ average as grade level 1. 5 in September. My goal is to increase my students’ word identification to a class average of 3. 0. Upon analyzing the results of the Assessment of Comprehension, I identified my classes’ average as a 41% in September. My goal is to increase my students’ comprehension to a class average of 80%. Using the Monster Test, I identified my classes’ average scores as Semiphonetic/Phonetic. My goal is to increase my students’ phonics and spelling skills to Transitional. 1 st Grade Teach for America Teacher

• Direct the Rider • Find the Bright Spots • Script the Critical Moves • Point to the Destination • Motivate the Elephant • Find the Feeling • Shrink the Change • Grow your People • Clear the Path • Tweak the Environment • Build Habits • Rally the Herd
My people are just stubborn! • What looks like a people problem is often a situation problem • Movie popcorn and bucket size
Clear the Path. . . Tweak the Environment • Big buckets, big plates • Automatic coffee, Clocky, running outfit laid out • Move away from the computer, silence email notification • Design it so the right thing is the easiest thing to do (RTET)
Clear the Path. . . Build Habits • Action triggers—preload • Six parent phone calls per grading period • Six home visits per semester

People don’t see the need to change! • Find the feeling • Show the problem with not changing • Tweak the environment so change occurs without feeling
That’s not the way we do it around here. • Build identity • Find a bright spot • Focus on your Superstars
My people are stuck in the old patterns. • • • Create habits Set an action trigger Preload a decision Develop a new routine Ambiguity is the enemy—script the critical moves
People simply aren’t motivated to change! • • • Elephant problem. . . Revitalize new identity Create a destination postcard Lower the bar Use peer pressure
I know what to do, I just can’t get it done! • • Elephant problem. . . Set up some easy, small wins Clear the path Set up teams!
People were excited, but now we have stalled. • Build habits. . . action without effort • Celebrate victories. . . 6 out of 10 students are graduates! • Teach growth mindset. . . failure is not final, it doesn’t have to be exactly right at first
Somebody Said It Couldn’t Be Done!

West Virginia Dept of Ed A-F Grading System A Conversation with Dr. John Draper National School Public Relations Association
The WVDE Grading Plan using Proficiency, Growth, Participation and Graduation Rate. . . and forced into a Stanine Scoring Design
F D C B A
The A-F Plan (influencing others) §Forces the scores into a Bell Curve—for every A there must be at least one F §Contains a ‘catch 22’ clause—if scores improve they make it harder. . . to guarantee that some will always fail §A school could be 100% proficient and still make an F. . . If growth scores are low §If participation rate is below 95% you drop a letter grade, if below 90% you fail
Grades based on Stanines. . . §Scores of 88, 89, 90, 91, and 92 would be, on the curve. . . § 92 -A § 91 -B § 90 -C § 89 -D § 88 -F
How much more does it take to educate a Free/Reduced student to the same level as Regular Ed students? That’s unaddressed in A-F!
It needs work! SES is not measured Everybody knows it takes more time, effort and resources to educator poorer children
