Stages of Concern
12
Interpreting Concern Profile

• Identify the peaks and valleys . . .
• Peaks intense concerns
• Valleys little or no concerns
• Identify potential intervention activities . . .

13
Interventions
Hall, George, Rutherford, 1986
14
Talking Points

• Think about planning a professional development
  workshop in your district . . .
• How were the teachers concerns identified?
• How did the workshop match the concerns of the
  
• individuals?

15
Comparison of SoC and LoU

• Stages of Concern (SoC) addresses the affective
  side of change peoples reactions, feelings,
  perceptions, and attitudes.
• Levels of Use (LoU) has to do with behaviors
  and portrays how people are acting with respect
  to specified change.
• 
  Hall Hord, p. 81

16
Levels of Use

• Identify if person is a user or
• nonuser . . .
• Three nonuse levels
• Five use levels

17
Hall Hord, p. 82
18
Assessing Individuals Level of Use

• LoU Branching Interview
• Quick assessment of a persons LoU
• LoU Focused Interview
• In-depth interview by a certified interviewer and
  analyzed using a specific matrix

19
LoU Branching Interview
Are you currently looking for information about
the innovation?
No LoU O, I
Have you decided to use it and set a date to
begin use?
II
Yes
No - LoU 0, I, II
Are you using the innovation?
III
User-Oriented
Yes LoU III, IVA, IVB, V, VI
IVA
What kinds of changes are you making in your
use of the innovation?
IVB
Nothing Unusual
No LoU IVB, VI
No
Are you coordinating your use of the innovation
with others, including another not in your
original group of users?
Are you planning or exploring making major
modifications or replacing the innovation?

Categories for Levels of Use
Hall Hord, p. 90
21
Talking Points

• Think about teachers in your district
  implementing new knowledge and skills . . .
• How were the teachers levels of use
  identified?
• How does the teachers levels of use impact
  student
• achievement?

22
Innovation Configuration (IC) Map

• The IC map is composed of word picture
  descriptions of the different operational forms
  of an innovation or change.
• 
  Hall Hord, p.
  41

23
Three Key Questions

• What does the innovation look like when it
• is in use?
• What would I see in classrooms where it is
• used well (and not so well)?
• What will teachers and students be doing
• when the innovation is in use?
• 
  Hall Hord, p. 49

24
Talking Points

• Think about planning and implementing a
  professional development program in your district
  . . .
• Who should develop an IC map?
• What effect does the results from an IC map
  have on
• continuous progress?

25
Change Facilitator (CF) Styles

• Initiator
• Manager
• Responder

26
Initiator

• push teachers, students, parents, and personnel
  in the district office to support the things that
  will help students learn, teachers learn, and the

• Structured interviews
• Personal learning logs and reflective journals
• Participant portfolios Guskey,
