Influencing Change
By 2024, all 6th-grade students will have developed an e-portfolio and use it for learning and reflection at least twice a week.​
Our Goal:
Influence is essential to creating change, but influence must be wielded effectively to create lasting and effective change. After targeting the heart or the "why", you must then create a desired result, identify vital behaviors, organizational influencers, and use the six sources of influence to increase the chances of success. This process is not a quick fix; it is a process and model for changing behavior at an organization's core. Based on this, I have developed a strategy for organizational change in regard to my ePortfolio initiative.
​

​
In my organization, my influencers are the dean of instruction, PLC team, teacher leaders, and administration. I will pilot my initiative, but having my influencers buy into my plan and want to make a change too is what will make all of the difference. I have noticed the obvious, looked for crucial moments, learned from positive deviants, and spotted culture busters. My strategy to influence my organization is targeting both motivation and ability at the personal, social, and structural level to change vital behaviors and achieve my desired goal.​
