Crazy With Frenzy Ready To Change
We have been in a workshop for two days.
A bunch of us, getting to know each other.
Of course we all nod and agree that change makes sense.
We like the idea of change.
we say.
for the presenter's sake.
It will be fantastic when we get everybody on board.
They will all jump up and down and yell and shout with glee
When the school turns around and every child behaves
And high-fives their teachers, and brings us all cupcakes on Friday.
We are amazingly excited about these possible changes.
We are enthusiastic.
We are ready.
We brag about it in our sessions.
A workshop for teachers.
Yes, we are ready to change. We cannot wait to get back.
We are all secretly thinking ‘we will try it once,” but
Few of us are realizing it takes twenty-one days of
A new way, before any change can take place.
Twenty-one days.
Twenty-one tries.
Some are even thinking this will not work.
We hug each other as we leave the workshop, pretending we are going to implement a new idea.
But doing things instinctively the same way we have always done them even if they have not worked is so much more comfortable. Right?
