Session 3

Day 3March 2 - 4, 2010

Austin, TX

Seasonal Partners

• Find your winter partner.

• Sit at a table with another pair of Winter Partners.

Welcome Back!

• Review of Day 2 “Gots and Needs”• Day 3 Agenda Review

Goals for Today

• Learn about the Concerns Based Adoption Model’s Levels of Use tool and apply to your own work.

• Gain “critical friends” feedback on your District Project.

• Plan for how you will apply what you have learned about systems and individual change to lead change in your district.

Tools for Leading Change

Concerns-Based Adoption Model:

Levels of Use

LEVELS OF USE BEHAVIORAL INDICES

VI. RENEWAL

V. INTEGRATION

IVB. REFINEMENT

IVA. ROUTINE

III. MECHANICAL

II. PREPARATION

I. ORIENTATION

O. NONUSE * (Nonuser stages in blue type)

The user is seeking more effective alternatives tothe established use of the innovation

The user is making deliberate efforts tocoordinate with others in using the innovation.

The user is making changes to increaseoutcomes.

The user is making few or no changes and hasan established pattern of use.

The user is using the innovation in a poorlycoordinated manner and is making user-oriented change.

The user is preparing to use the innovation.

LoU Scoring Exercise

At your tables, read the 7 LoU statements. Indicate the overall Level of Use for each teacher and underline “clues” in the statements.

Assessing Levels of Use

• LoU Branching Interview

• LoU Focused Interview

Branching LoU Interview

• Turn to Page 168: LoU Branching Interview

• Observe Susan & Kathy role-play• Identify the LoU

Applying LoU DataUMELA School District leaders gathered LoU data through

branching interviews with the five teachers in each of the six schools. The focus of the interviews was on teachers’ use of the new mathematics curriculum.

• Select one of the SoCQ charts. Read the LoU information for those teachers. Discuss:– What inferences and interpretations can you make?– What “interventions” might be needed for individual teachers?

(see pp. 161 - 165) – How might you use these data to inform your professional

development program to achieve districtwide implementation of the new curriculum?

Reflections

• Personal Reflection– What insights are you gaining about

how Levels of Use can guide your work in leading mathematics education?

• As a Team– How might you use LoU in your

district’s change efforts?
