How Schools Can Face The ‘Bad Habits’ That Inhibit Meaningful Changes

This ARTICLE from Mindshift argues that long-held school beliefs, culture, and structures may actually prevent a school from progress. Seems like an odd idea when we place so much value on traditions and consitency; however, "While habitual behavior can be good — like when it reinforces a positive culture or set of norms — it can also be a stubborn obstacle to enacting meaningful change." 

The article goes on to identify "initiative overload" and the context of technology integration.  

According to the article, both teachers and administrators must "fight hard to recognize and replace their own bad habits, (because if we) truly want to see changes to teaching and learning, we must name negative habitual behaviors, own them, and intentionally make plans to address them. Substituting new belief structures and habits will also take time."
