Hi #mnlead Jon from Farmington. Math T. Trying to watch what I want before the kids watch what they want.

PrincipalFrench Jan 31 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1) Mindset hasn't changed. #mnlead

JennReichel Jan 31 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1. Resisters either don't know or don't believe in the compelling why. #mnlead

BethHumbert Jan 31 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1) Effort. I have been doing it this way for awhile and changing it is work. Plus it has "worked" so why change it. #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Jan 31 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1 Efficacy. Some who resist change are concerned they don’t have the appropriate skills & don’t want to feel like a beginner. #mnlead

ACook_FACS Jan 31 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1. Stubborn.....and "I have always done it this way!" #mnlead

sthomaschefsky Jan 31 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1 They don't know what they don't know also mindset is fixed #mnlead

teacherjean55 Jan 31 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1) Change is hard for some people. They have fear of the unknown. We need to have patience and bring them along slowly. #mnlead

korytellers Jan 31 @ 8:07 PM EST

@SupAnger Hush! ;) #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jan 31 @ 8:07 PM EST

@KarinHogen Hey Karin! How'd it go this weekend? Was reading your tweets. #mnlead

jasoninmn Jan 31 @ 8:07 PM EST

Some have trouble with letting go of tradition and the past. We're moving from a place of feeling to a place of thinking with data #mnlead

jenhegna Jan 31 @ 8:07 PM EST

@mahillmann Do you think that is a mindset issue? #mnlead

raztech Jan 31 @ 8:08 PM EST

@SupAnger That's a can do! I'll help! #mnlead

wadestanford Jan 31 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1 Fear of trying something they may not have the capacity to accomplish. #mnlead

MiniMatisse Jan 31 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1: I feel that it may be because of past experience. Maybe buy-in in the didn’t = expected outcomes in the past #mnlead

korytellers Jan 31 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1 Because they may not necessarily see them as positive. Perspective is very important. #mnlead

writeonwallace Jan 31 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1: Time is the age old answer, but I think this is a copout. You make time for what is important and what you believe it. Fear? #mnlead

Clouducation_ Jan 31 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1: I see many who are SO far behind, they are embarrassed to ask for help or know how to catch up. Esp w/tech. Anyone else? #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Jan 31 @ 8:08 PM EST

In many cases, yes. In others, they may just not have the capacity and know it. #mnlead https://t.co/MSBMMX39c0

jenhegna Jan 31 @ 8:09 PM EST

@teacherjean55 I would agree - but we need to create continued time to support and follow up with them - need follow thru #mnlead

BradLatzke Jan 31 @ 8:09 PM EST

andreakornowski Jan 31 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: Priorities. #mnlead

MiniMatisse Jan 31 @ 8:09 PM EST

@jenhegna Good point. Fear of failing is very evident in teachers who have to have the 'right' answer so often. #mnlead

TPreisler Jan 31 @ 8:09 PM EST

#mnlead A1) variety of reasons. Fear, lack of data, strong desire to be perfect & something new won't be perfect.

RACzyz Jan 31 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: Comfort in what they know, fear of the unknown. Change is difficult. #mnlead

A1 Fear of the unknown. Uncomfortable having to adjust to new approaches #mnlead

KarinHogen Jan 31 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: My new theory is that change is always hard even if result is easier than status quo. It's like a bell curve. #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Jan 31 @ 8:09 PM EST

In many cases, yes, @jenhegna . In others, they may just not have the capacity and know it. #mnlead

jenlegatt Jan 31 @ 8:09 PM EST

Good evening, #mnlead! Jen Legatt, media specialist. I am glad to be here.

raztech Jan 31 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1 Bad past experiences, don't see need to change, don't want to change, don't know how to change #mnlead

wadestanford Jan 31 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1 Some haven't come to the conclusion that we need change. They are happy with the present. #mnlead

LydoKane Jan 31 @ 8:09 PM EST

Q1 They must have clarity on the WHAT & WHY. W/o it people create their own 'truths' Feeling uncomfortable isn't always easy either. #mnlead

JonHeeren Jan 31 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1) resistance to change. Fear of new things. #mnlead

korytellers Jan 31 @ 8:10 PM EST

@Clouducation_ With tech I see some who get frustrated when it doesn't work like it should. Being behind+not working=unwillingness #mnlead

BethHumbert Jan 31 @ 8:10 PM EST

@JennReichel I totally agree! This is a huge problem. It takes time to research and understand the why! #mnlead

chris_bussmann Jan 31 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1: There is comfort in the known for some. If you like to make widgets, well your job is about to become obsolete. #mnlead

SupAnger Jan 31 @ 8:10 PM EST

#mnlead A1) If we have not taken the time to build a culture of trust, skepticism of change remains

KarinHogen Jan 31 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1 cont: So we need to give people some slack. It's work and time even if the result will be less work and ace time. #mnlead

teacherjean55 Jan 31 @ 8:10 PM EST

@jenhegna We need to show them respect but provide support. They almost need us to prove why the change is important. #mnlead

sthomaschefsky Jan 31 @ 8:10 PM EST

@Clouducation_ as a Tech Integrator I c this everyday Ts r all over and sometimes it is easy to be nasty instead of asking for help #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jan 31 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1 It's easier to stay in place than to move. Moving can be scary...forward or backward. Doing what you know it safe. #mnlead

MiniMatisse Jan 31 @ 8:10 PM EST

@korytellers Or I guess how it is going to better their teaching/perspective. Good point. #mnlead

walkchrysj Jan 31 @ 8:10 PM EST

@korytellers Right, Kory. We have to engage our people to build support and seek their perspectives on the change #mnlead

BradLatzke Jan 31 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1 Previous change initiatives poorly planned and executed. #mnlead

korytellers Jan 31 @ 8:10 PM EST

I think we need to be careful here-we would NEVER say our Ss are behind. We need to meet Ts where they are at and move forward. #mnlead

BethHumbert Jan 31 @ 8:10 PM EST

@BradLatzke Or the "I have seen many educational changes...none of them stick anyway." #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jan 31 @ 8:10 PM EST

@jenlegatt Hi Jen! Thanks for joining. #mnlead

RACzyz Jan 31 @ 8:11 PM EST

Neepernu Jan 31 @ 8:11 PM EST

@RACzyz exactly. I was trying to think of how to word this exact thought. #mnlead

jenlegatt Jan 31 @ 8:11 PM EST

A1: To some, any change is uncomfortable even if the end results will be positive. Previous initiatives have failed or disappeared. #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Jan 31 @ 8:11 PM EST

I‘I don’t have time/‘I’m too busy’ is usually code for ‘it isn’t a priority for me.’ If so, just say that. #mnlead https://t.co/HoY4mqndwZ

Q1.2: Ever been there yourself? What was the reason? #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jan 31 @ 8:11 PM EST

A1 And sometimes the "why" is Why does it apply to me? What I do works...#mnlead

jenhegna Jan 31 @ 8:11 PM EST

@korytellers Right - and we have interventions for S's who struggle. #mnlead

walkchrysj Jan 31 @ 8:11 PM EST

@bretdom True, Bret. We are tasked to help our people through these difficulties as they occur #mnlead

@LydoKane Yes! Explain the why and do these 3 things. #mnlead https://t.co/6mPLI394Ah

korytellers Jan 31 @ 8:12 PM EST

@walkchrysj When talking about change I think it's SO important to put ourselves in other's shoes. We all need perspective. #mnlead

chris_bussmann Jan 31 @ 8:12 PM EST

A1.2: Traditional teaching is founded in routine, control, and compliance. It just isn't that way anymore and that can be scary. #mnlead

jasoninmn Jan 31 @ 8:12 PM EST

A1: Not always a clear understanding of the why? need more clarity of communication #mnlead

JennReichel Jan 31 @ 8:12 PM EST

@BethHumbert Go slow to go fast... It's important to dedicate time to the why before ever considering the what. #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jan 31 @ 8:12 PM EST

Q1.2: Ever been there yourself? What was the reason? #mnlead

MiniMatisse Jan 31 @ 8:12 PM EST

@KarinHogen I like how you have a 'new theory'. It's true. There is not a right answer and w/ life experience, thoughts can change. #mnlead

BradLatzke Jan 31 @ 8:13 PM EST

There is an element of truth in this statement. Leaders do not always stay with initiatives long enough. #mnlead https://t.co/2YPrQeTRiw

@BradLatzke Or the "I have seen many educational changes...none of them stick anyway." #mnlead

BethHumbert Jan 31 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1.2) I came into teaching at the start of this and I think as a result I am not sympathetic to why changing could be so hard. #mnlead

Clouducation_ Jan 31 @ 8:13 PM EST

@jasoninmn Completely agree. We don't always start with the why, just the what and the by when...#mnlead

mjjohnson1216 Jan 31 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1.2 We have all been there. Our lives move fast. Sometimes I have prioritized other items and haven’t gotten there yet. #mnlead
