Moving into new space and hope to ensure a successful transition

I’m moving into a newly designed or renovated building and have mixed feelings about the changes coming my way. How can I better understand and anticipate changes?

Perspective

Hurdles/Questions they may be thinking
  • Although I’m excited to be a part of an updated building, I’m worried there wasn’t enough input given by teachers who will really have to use the space every day.
  • With so much already on my plate, this move impacts both my routine and my environment. Is there anything I can do to make this transition smoother?
Solutions
  • Juggling multiple emotions during this transition is completely normal, and your colleagues are likely feeling the same. However, each person handles change differently. A crucial step is to address the challenges with openness to exciting possibilities, without expecting frustrations to simply disappear.

Hoping to build cohesion with fellow staff to foster collective impact

Our building is seeing many positive changes, but we’re all coming into the conversation of ways to engage students at different points. At times, it feels like we lack a unified vision for what we can achieve together.

Perspective

Hurdles/Questions they may be thinking
  • I hear a lot about the mission and vision of our organization, but I often feel disconnected from that process and its outcomes. It seems so distant from my everyday experience in the classroom!
  • How can I better connect with my fellow teachers to learn from one another and challenge each other to grow in new ways?
Solutions
  • It’s not unusual to feel disconnected from the big picture mission and vision of an organization. Let’s explore your unique vision for learning and how it connects to the overall organization. This is also a valuable opportunity for the entire staff to unite around a cohesive set of values!
