Managing Change:
Evidence-Based Strategies for Starting and Sustaining New Policies, Practices, and Processes   

October 11-12, 2018

Denver, CO

Change is constant in schools: Every new program, policy, or procedure comes with the need to implement and manage change well. Attend this research- and evidence-based session to learn the keys to helping your school team not just survive change, but thrive in it. Participants will also receive extended virtual coaching during 2018-19 school year.

You'll leave this intensive 2-day session with:

• Knowing how to create demand for change, and a shared vision for the future, among your staff and stakeholders. 
• Understanding how to estimate the “magnitude” of a proposed change and how it will impact your school community.
• Knowing why and how to adjust your leadership style based on the change at hand, including when it’s critical to be directive (making executive decisions) and when to be empowering (sharing leadership).
• Understanding the four phases of change and how to manage your school’s progress through the phases.
• Knowing what first- and second-order responses to change are and how to support your staff as they go through their personal transitions.
• Sustaining momentum and maintaining consistency.
• Monitoring results and making modifications at key points.

Registration fee:

$399 per person. Includes 2-day workshop and extended virtual coaching plus lunch and refreshments.
