Change

As stated by Fullan and Miles (1992), "change is a journey, not a blueprint....One should not plan, then do, but do, then plan...and do and plan some more" (p.749).


I got this quote from Chapter 1 of The Administration and Supervision of Reading Programs.  It described the classroom teacher's need for involvement in generating ideas for change and implementing change in the classroom, in terms of developing an effective reading program.

I interpreted this quote as it describes the unending process of education.  There are always new strategies or new information.  As educators, we need to be flexible to accommodate these changes.  We got to do what we can and adjust ourselves.  Because sometimes we don't see or hear the changes, we just need to be ready for them when it happens.  It's not something we plan for but need to be ready to adjust to.
