Research Purpose
To determine the success of the change initiative and to identify the factors that led to the successes and challenges that
were experienced by administrators, principals, and teachers in Lakeshore
School Division. Methodology & Data sources ~ Mixed methods study. ~ Lakeshore School Division documents, including numerical data. ~ An online survey ~ Focus groups ~ Interviews
Literature "Systemic change in the school division can happen when new
dispositions, new ways of thinking, and new behaviours are established
and supported so that the culture of the school division is altered"
(Green & Etheridge, 2001, p. 829)
High level of engagement in the Change Process
~ 67% of those responding to the survey indicated medium to high levels of participation ~ Only 11% reported no participation ~ 4 of 7 divisional trustees attended multiple Re-imagine Lakeshore meetings
Vital Outcome Indicators for Community Engagement of Children & Youth
A success? ~ 84% of survey participants believed that Re-imagine Lakeshore was somewhat successful or successful ~ Only 3.5% thought it was not successful.
Permission to think outside of the box, permission to try new things,
to fail forward, to take chances and to take risks . . . I think thats
really powerful.
The changes are enhanced engagement. I think theres a lot of excitement and passion across
the division.
Changes? Percentage of survey respondents who saw some or significant changes in: ~ Physical learning spaces: 91% ~ Technology integration: 84% ~ Instructional strategies: 86% ~ Student engagement: 78% ~ Equity: 65%
The process made us focus is this working or not? And
within that process were those opportunities to fail, so you know
its okay, its not working and youre going to try something
different.
