ISLT 9475 - Diffusion of Educational Innovations
Course Description: Change happens, but not always the way you want it to happen. This course will help you take charge of change by understanding change dynamics and using proven methods to influence change in any organization. Learn why some innovations are adopted and others are abandoned; why some people are quick to change and others need more time. Most importantly - learn how to make the changes you want to happen.
Reflection: The activities performed in this course allowed me to better understand various types of learners. With this new understanding I have been able to make better connections with my students. The Concerns Based Adoption Model allowed me to analyze the learning management system that I utilize on a daily basis. My administration instituted the web based platform PowerSchool last year and I am proud to say that I am one of the only teachers in my district that utilizes it to its full potential AND I have become a trainer for my other colleagues. This system has made the structure of my courses more meaningful and engaging.
