Section 4: Change Plan
SIX STRATEGIES FOR CHANGE & SKELETAL PLAN FOR CROSSING THE IMPLEMENTATION BRIDGE:
Hord and Roussin (2011) employ the six strategies, which include:
These six strategies are necessary for successfully implementing any change as they serve as the initial guide and benchmarks for the journey of change (pg.9). The document below demonstrates my thoughts on the six strategies for change, the vision for the change, and the skeletal plan for crossing the implementation bridge.
SIX STRATEGIES FOR CHANGE & SKELETAL PLAN FOR CROSSING THE IMPLEMENTATION BRIDGE:
Hord and Roussin (2011) employ the six strategies, which include:
- creating a shared vision of change
- planning and identifying resources necessary for change
- investing in professional development
- checking or assessing progress
- providing assistance
- creating a context conducive to change
These six strategies are necessary for successfully implementing any change as they serve as the initial guide and benchmarks for the journey of change (pg.9). The document below demonstrates my thoughts on the six strategies for change, the vision for the change, and the skeletal plan for crossing the implementation bridge.
CHANGE ASSESSMENT:
Assessing whether or not individuals are ready for change is a critical stage that must be addressed before implementing any changes (Hord & Roussin, 2011, pg. 36). Click on the button below to view an example of a readiness assessment in Google Forms.

INNOVATION CONFIGURATION MAP:
According to Hord and Roussin (2011), an Innovation Configuration map precisely reveals the vision of the change as well as serves as a guide to check the progress of the proposed change (pg. 40). It is broken down into different components and each component is then broken down into "Ideal", "Acceptable", and "Unacceptable".
The document below is my Innovation Configuration Map based on my proposed change.

STAGES OF CONCERN:
The Stages of Concern is a valuable and necessary tool which is used to assess the individuals feelings, attitude, and reactions toward the proposed change (Hord & Roussin, 2011, pg. 84). The Stages of Concern, as noted by Hord and Roussin (2011) are as follows:
The Stages of Concern is a valuable and necessary tool which is used to assess the individuals feelings, attitude, and reactions toward the proposed change (Hord & Roussin, 2011, pg. 84). The Stages of Concern, as noted by Hord and Roussin (2011) are as follows:
- 0. Awareness -- I am not concerned about it
- 1. Informational -- I would like to know more about it
- 2. Personal -- How will using it affect me
- 3. Management -- I seem to be spending all my time getting materials ready
- 4. Consequence -- How is my use affecting learners? How can I refine it to have more impact
- 5. Collaboration -- How can I relate what I am doing to what others are doing
- 6. Refocusing -- I have some ideas about something that would work even better (pgs. 86-87).

Effectively addressing the Levels of Concern is key in moving Stake-holders forward with proposed changes. Click on the button below to view an example of a Levels of Concern assessment in Google Forms.
LEVELS OF USE & MONITORING:
The Levels of Use are eight researched-based levels which serves as a road-map detailing how individuals move through non-use to renewal as well as describing their behaviors in their use of implementing the proposed change (Hord & Roussin, 2011, pg. 109). Per Hord and Roussin, the Levels of Use are as follows:

Per Hord and Roussin, the Levels of Use are as follows:
- Level 0: Non-Use
- Level 1: Orientation
- Level 2: Preparation
- Level 3: Mechanical Use
- Level 4A: Routine
- Level 4B: Refinement
- Level 5: Integration
- Level 6: Renewal (pg. 112).
