Does it ever feel like an uphill battle when you are asked to implement a new change in your building or district? In this episode, James Fester and Becca discuss the Change Adoption Curve and how to use it to navigate successful school improvement. The curve gives you the order in which teachers will adopt change: innovators (eager early adopters), early adopters (enthusiastic supporters), early majority (need some convincing), late majority (cautious adopters), and laggards (most reluctant to adopt the change).

Using the Change Adoption Curve shows us that it's not appropriate to expect everyone to initially adopt the change and gives us a roadmap on where to start in differentiating support for all teachers.
