4 Disciplines of Execution

Getting into and trying to learn what’s important when it comes to my organization and what I feel can better us as a team has become a great challenge for me because the organization, I’m apart of would like to make changes but have no sense of direction nor do they have a leader in place to help push to goals that will help us. At this point we are stuck in a whirlwind especially with everyone having their own issues its hard to focus on other issues that come up. The WHIRLWIND is the real work, the work that will have you so busy you tend to forget what’s really important (Goals). The whirlwind reminds me of a trapped door you go in and then your stuck just like that with no way out because forces are being thrown at you left and right and eventually, you’ll spiral out of control.

When it comes to goals and what you should be focusing on it is best to focus on ONE to TWO goals at a time But in order to get the real results you are looking for its best to focus on just that one goal the WIG being able to focus on one goal at a time will help stay out of the whirlwind because you can have a clear mind and be able to stay focus on what you are trying to accomplish within that goal. Staying on track (Lead Measure) while not falling behind (Lag Measure).

There's a difference in Change Kids vs Adults

Discussion

Influence Strategy

This week discussion was based on the 6 sources of Influence, in the videos watched this week I’ve learned a little bit more about influences. Based on both videos watched I’ve learned there’s a huge difference when getting kids to change and when getting adults to start making change.

In the first video All Washed up the kids were so distracted once the cupcakes were brought in majority of them didn’t follow directions. Now the instructor gave very detailed instructions, but the kids only saw and heard what they wanted because now the cupcakes had their attention.

The children ranged in different age groups but where old enough to know that after putting the puzzle together to use sanitizer before getting a cupcake.

The key to change is using all 6 sources of influences but only 4 was used in “All Washed Up”

Those 4 influences included Personal Motivation, Change environment, Deliberate Practice and Peer Pressure (Social Influence). After thinking back to when I was once a child my mind was never just set on one thing, I had this to do and that to do and my attention span was very short. I remember having to be told over and over to do something just like the children in the video.

The reason only 4 of the 6 Influences were used in my opinion is because children have short attention spans. Just to even get them to get quiet in a classroom setting can be difficult. But when you give personal motivation to something related to the topic at hand or changing the environment for the child something that more exciting than what their used to, practicing the new change more than once and of course letting other students who have a positive look on change influence the other children you could and would get better results just by connecting with the student on a different level. Towards the end of the video a sign was put up about using the sanitizer and just by one student reading the sign and used the sanitizer the other children followed suit.

Change doesn’t happen over night but continue to work on it will get you one step closer to changing it takes time.

What is your Why? Assignment 1 (5304)

What is Your Why?

Blended Learning

Assignment 1

Part A:

Why?

To Inspire our learners that other ways of learning can help them succeed.

How?

We create a learning environment each student can be comfortable in, when it comes to learning.

What?

We get others to get on board to help prepare students for change.

Part B: Heart of Change

The Statement “To Inspire our learners so that other ways of learning can help them succeed” is an inspiring message within itself. As a parent as well as an educator our students right now are having it harder than ever, and the traditional learning method is just not pushing the learners to the levels that they should be on when it comes to their learning. It’s really happening in lower income school districts because majority of the schools are not equipped with the correct materials needed for the students. Since I am an associate teacher, I’m able to go to different schools within my district. I’ve been to a total of 5 and I must say they all are suffering with the same problems, lack of school student success rates not just on standardized test but in their basic studies, their everyday learning. In order to get our students on a successful level in their education we must work together to get it done. If we don’t do it then who will? And how will change begin within our school system?
