I Have a Question
Overcoming Teachers’ Initial Barriers to Change
April 13, 2014
Featured Question
From Carla Arena: ” I’m always interested in how we motivate educators to overcome their initial barriers to change. I’ve had some clues from this past decade working with very inspiring educators, but we can always learn from others and their own strategies.”

@durff … get on here with your dissertation!
differentiated professional development
a machinima star in the making
the goal is not “change” but to help teachers find ways to improve their own teaching by modeling, teaching, supporting them in what they are wanting to do.
must change attitudes, school culture, pedagogy
Dr. Durff, would you like to join us?
but Peggy you’re right as in how you approach teachers
there’s going to be a great webinar on Tues. Apr. 22 with Elliot Washor on Personalization and Student Engagement. Barbara Bray & Kathleen McClaskey are hosting it. [url]http://www.personalizelearning.com/p/webinar-series.html[/url]
I’m just saying the goal isn’t to change for the sake of change. That’s what teachers resist when they think they don’t have time or they’ve been down this path before.
Did Cormier make anyone cry this time?
oh? I never have asked anyone – sorry
oh but that is exactly what teachers still do Jen
@durff … path of least resistance … why change if it could get you in trouble?
Really excited about Earthcast 2014! Sheila Adams has reinvigorated the project! Thanks Jeff for helping us get things set up!
and in higher ed they have tenure and in K-12 they have unions
30 minutes goes by too fast!!!!
the outro is a drumroll isn’t it?
isn’t this a ninja turtle?
<-needs a haircut
Jen – again I am not “Dr. Durff” yet – have to graduate first – like next year maybe
your webcam is great Jen! There’s reflection on your glasses but not on Jeff’s glasses. Do you know why?
thinking it may be the glasses
the reflection is coming from her computer screen
you can scan all of that stuff and put it in Evernote 🙂
so did they say next Sunday 8pm?
Thanks – putting on calendar
it’s on the ETT calendar and you can subscribe to that. 🙂 That’s how I remember.
thanks everyone! great conversation! love this new show!
