Every school improvement effort eventually reaches the same challenge: educators respond differently to the same initiative. Whether the focus is instructional clarity, active student engagement, PLCs, AI integration, attendance, or belonging, effective leaders anticipate these responses and plan accordingly. In this interactive workshop, we will use Rogers’ Adoption Curve as a practical planning tool to map a current school initiative, anticipate likely staff behaviors, and design differentiated leadership supports. Participants should come prepared with a school-based initiative and will leave with an implementation plan, peer feedback, and strategies they can immediately apply within their schools.
