It has been a while since I've thrown an idea out and since I am feeling froggy from my reading this evening, I thought I would contribute to the vast amount of useless jibberish that is housed online - so here it goes:
One thing that makes SCS such a dynamic place that is capable of change is that our organization is not a subgroup of a larger entity (p.56, Implementing Change). As a public school you are under the governance of the state and ultimately the federal government. This factor is huge in that they will feel burdened or even controlled and limited in what they can accomplish. Change is often something that is handed down from someone that you feel does not know your system. The changes are often given to all schools in a one-size-fits-all fashion, which is seldom true. At SCS we have autonomy to notice needed change, plan for implementation, create buy-in, implement, evaluate, and monitor our own change – which is totally created within. This introspective means of noticing potential areas of change creates instant buy-in with the administration and teachers.
What do you think? Accurate? Way off?
