Kurt Lewin
- Change involves unfreezing, changing, then re-freezing.
- Unfreezing requires the introduction of a driving force (need), while also minimizing restraining forces (anxiety).
- Action research involves collecting and analyzing data ON OUR KIDS, which creates a driving force for change. The collaborative discussion of the data also serves to create a sense of psychological safety.
Our feeling is that professional development and professional learning communities are a required component of change, as they helps teachers to understand the need for a change, then feel safe in implementing a change, and confident that the changes they are implementing are the best fit for their kids.
