We were just having a meeting last week and we were talking about implementing a new "corporate" behavior model in the district. One of the admins pointed out that if we were going to move forward it needed to be rolled out by the superintendent and it needed to be across all buildings not just one here and one there. Finally, there needed to be the expectation that we are doing this and it is important that everyone is on board. Who knows what will happen.
And then, there needs to be change management activities to ensure that there is understanding and support, then enablement activities to help the transition. What are the chances?
I think the new guy in charge really wants to do it. He seems to be pretty legit. I think the thing that will probably kill it will be the unions. They will say "nope, we aren't doing that" and instead of banging your head against the wall fighting them or holding them to a higher standard, it will probably just get dropped. There's no "teeth" to anything it seems.
Unions are good to protect the average conditions and mid to below average workers, but they can get in the way of a lot of progress that would benefit many.
I don't think that is as much of an issue now as it used to be in the past. At least not in the US. Maybe in other countries. My dad was in the union, so I can respect their history, but my current interactions with them doesn't leave a very favorable impression on me.
