“There is a perfectly
logical reason for every
stupid thing that anyone
does, because no one does
anything that they think is
stupid.”

When you plan change
When you meet resistance
When change is stalled
When you need an
employee to change
•No involvement—
No ownership!
•No engagement—
No commitment!
•No input—
No output!
We are schizophrenics!
• Rider—logical, analytical
• Elephant—emotional, powerful
• Clocky! The Happiness Hypothesis
Successful change must
address three factors . . .
• Mind—Is there a good reason? Does
it make sense? Is there a first step?
Is there a goal?
• Heart—Is it inspiring? Do you care?
Will it make things better? Can we
do it?
• Environment—Are there obstacles?
Can we make it simpler? Can we
make it automatic?

Chip and Dan Heath
• Direct the Rider—the thinking part—
resistance is often a lack of clarity
• Motivate the Elephant—the
emotions—laziness is often
exhaustion, you need Elephant
emotion to keep going
• Clear the Path—the environment—a
people problem is often a situation
problem, eliminate the road-blocks
Think about yourself
• You have a preferred “change style”
• Rider—logical, analyzer, critical,
wary, subject to over think, big
picture
• Elephant—emotional, loyal,
traditional, easy-going, stubborn,
defender of status quo, now focus
• Which are you?

What do you talk about?
Most time-consuming
discipline problem in
High Schools??
Tardies!!
Tardy Bright Spots
• Teacher had assignment on board
• Teacher was at door during class
changes
• Teacher started class immediately
on the bell—not with roll call or
administrivia
• Defined tardy as “not in seat when
bell starts to ring”
Direct the Rider
• Engage teachers in “rider
discussion” of tardies, sharing
research, asking for input,
listening . . .
• Agree on definition of tardy
• Discuss possible actions
Direct the Rider . . .
Script the Critical Moves
• Use Tardy definition (eliminate
decision paralysis)
• Put Pre-Assignment on Board

Direct the Rider . . .
Point to the Destination
• Disney employee language
• Every Child a Graduate
• Educator tendency is to over
analyze, discuss, review,
research and use education-ese
language
I administered three Reading diagnostics: CWT,
Assessment of Comprehension, and Monster
Test. Using the CWT, I identified my classes’
average as grade level 1.5 in September. My goal
is to increase my students’ word identification to
a class average of 3.0. Upon analyzing the
results of the Assessment of Comprehension, I
identified my classes’ average as a 41% in
September. My goal is to increase my students’
comprehension to a class average of 80%. Using
the Monster Test, I identified my classes’
average scores as Semiphonetic/Phonetic. My
goal is to increase my students’ phonics and
spelling skills to Transitional.
