Keep the focus of discussions on the goal. Once changes are agreed upon, it is important to talk about them. Acknowledge with everyone that problems will arise and that there might be a variety of reasons for the problems or resistance. Remember, all efforts, no matter how well they are implemented, may experience an implementation dip in the early stages. Every person in the school has responsibility for contributing to the overall success of the action plan as well as their own individual responsibilities.
Successful actions can reinforce the belief that change can lead to improvement.
Starting small may increase the likelihood of success and increase motivation. You can t mandate what matters. Skill, commitment, and motivation make the implementation successful.
