Organizational Change Plan

One of the most critical components of getting this vision off the ground is rooted in understanding that “people don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it” (Sinek, 2009). Hence, I’ve articulated my “why” with the understanding that first and foremost I must appeal to people’s hearts. Ultimately, I believe every child deserves an early childhood classroom where learning happens through play, strong student-teacher interactions, and hands-on experiences in an engaging environment. To do this, I design systems that support great teaching by embedding assessment into authentic learning, empowering teachers through professional learning, and using technology to make learning visible. This creates classrooms where children remain curious, engaged, and empowered learners while teachers and families gain authentic evidence of growth.

While the Influencer strategy inspires the change, the 4DX strategy ensures that the strategy succeeds by creating four well defined disciplines. "As we have said, some goals are more important than others. And a few goals are "wildly" important. We define a "Wildly Important Goal" (a WIG) as a goal that you must reach or nothing else you achieve really matters very much" (Covey et al., 2026, p.22). My 4DX plan identifies a WIG for the first year and for the second year of the innovation plan. The year 1 WIG: by the end of the 2027 school year, 90% of Pre-K teachers will consistently use Seesaw to document authentic learning during centers and small-group instruction, resulting in at least one documented learning artifact per instructional day. In Discipline 2 I identify the lag measure that 90% of teachers consistently using Seesaw while the lead measures are that teachers plan one authentic documentation opportunity each day, ensure students capture at least one authentic learning artifact during centers or small group rotations, and bring Seesaw evidence to PLC meetings. In Discipline 3 we will create a compelling scoreboard, and in Discipline 4 we will create a cadence of accountability.
