Discuss at least primary reasons people (administrators, teachers, parents, and/or students) often resist change, especially regarding the implementation of new technologies in educational settings. Propose at least two ways to overcome people’s resistance to change. Provide a rationale to support your response.
Analyze the curriculum implementation models explained in the textbook (e.g., Organizational-Developmental Model, Systems Model, etc.) and consider the educational setting where you work or plan to work in the future. Discuss the model that you believe would be most effective for implementing a major change from an electives-based, liberal arts curriculum to an outcomes-based, school-to-work curriculum with core science, math, and technology courses. Provide a rationale to support your response.
