L4L Which Stage or Phase are your staff @

In the evaluation of several large-scale educational technology projects, Sherry and her colleagues (2000) found that teachers tended to go through five developmental stages. These were identified as learner, adopter, co-learner (with their students), reaffirmer or rejecter, and leader. Different strategies appeal to these teachers at different stages (Sherry et al., 2000, p. 45). One example of a successful strategy would be providing release time and new role assignments to allow teacher-leaders to serve as peer coaches and onsite trainers.
