The+Concerns-Based+Adoption+Model

The CBAM
is a tool to be used in helping teachers deal with change. Use each table to identify levels of concern and use in teachers so that you may better understand them, and help them move forward. These are growth tools that you should look to use with the new technologies that you are bringing into your building (s).

Getting teachers to #6 above and #7 below means getting them to reflect and grow. Very powerful tools! //There's the horse and water again!// An example might be student discussion boards. A teacher may desire online discussion boards for students. A wiki? Blog? Google Doc? Lead them down the road, empower them to discover //the right tool for the job!//
 * Stages of Concern**
 * 1-Information = "Tell me more about it?" ||
 * 2-Personal = "How will it affect me?" ||
 * 3-Management = "This is time consuming" ||
 * 4-Consequence = "Is it affecting my kids? How do I improve it?" ||
 * 5-Collaboration = "How can I relate this to the work of others?" ||
 * 6-Refocus = "I think I have a better idea?" ||
 * Levels of Use**
 * 0-Nonuse = Teacher is not interested ||
 * 1-Orientation = Teacher asks for information about new ||
 * 2-Preparation = Teacher prepares to try new ||
 * 3-Mechanical = Tries new and begins changing for improvement ||
 * 4-Routine = Usage of new is established and working ||
 * 5-Refinement = Begins change to improve student achievement ||
 * 6-Integration = Makes efforts to share the new with others ||
 * 7-Renewal = Seeks better methods to accomplish that of the new ||
