Managing Change
In Susan Patrick's post from December 31, 2015 titled 11 Big Trends for 2016: Predictions and Changes Ahead in K-12 Education, the president and CEO of iNACOL's fifth point discusses the change that is occurring. She states:
"Education leaders are managing change at a frenzied pace (along with the rest of society's leaders). K-12 education environments are designed for slow reaction to change, but as the world changes and becomes a place that requires constant innovation - so must our leaders take on roles for managing change for continuous improvement."
Patrick's assertion that K-12 environments are designed for slow reaction to change rings true. We are bound by roadblocks tied to federal funding, the custodial role of the school for students, the tie to school-sponsored sports, and various other rules and regulations that do not move quickly!
