Overcoming Teachers' Initial Barriers to Change

the goal is not "change" but to help teachers find ways to improve their own teaching by modeling, teaching, supporting them in what they are wanting to do.

I'm just saying the goal isn't to change for the sake of change. That's what teachers resist when they think they don't have time or they've been down this path before.
