and potential roadblocks that may come when faced with change.  When I think

about my the institution I work at, which is an elementary school ,go Bobcats, I actually think about my principal.  She really really really possesses Fullen’s number-one secret of the 6 secretes to change and it is the love of your employees.  This is actually something that is not always the case. Surprisingly some principals and employers don’t always show that a mobility, that connectivity with their employees or just anyone in the building but, my principal just strives hard to do that but furthermore the quote that I

took from this passage really stood out to me.  I can see this this present in

my workplace the quote states that, “the key is enabling staff to learn

continuously while giving them a certain amount of autonomy to take a risk and be

innovative.”  (Sheninger, 2014).  My principle is continuously doing this.  She always gives us risk to take and allows us to take those risk while educating our students.  When it comes towards the end of the year particularly, you will always hear her say, “change the schedule how you need I give you their flexibility.” We can literally

teach each other’s classes we can do a whole group for the entire fourth grade

level for course.  If we were reviewing on something or whatever we need to do, we can do.  Even this year she’s even mentioned allowing us to go to other schools and

see how they are teaching certain concepts just to get ideas into

brainstorm. That kind of flexibility and freedom as an educator is extremely,

extremely important. It’s just knowing that we have freedom to branch out and

do all that we need to do to reach our students that is so imperative.

Yes you will come to roadblocks with change, as mentioned in the book but,  I believe just being positive and optimistic will always keep us there and ultimately these six

secrets will help promote change within our school.  Thanks!
