General Change Theories

A well-written and thoughtful background piece from K-12 perspective. Argues that commonly called for instructional changes are often difficult to put into practice.

 A nice overview, analysis, and reconceptualization of the policy-practice gap.

 Very nice 'think piece'. Argues, using Lesson Study as an example, that the standard "General Proof" route is not the only nor necessarily the best route for instructional innovation.

Nice introduction to important concepts and also includes description of Van de Ven and Poole's 1995 article that outlines four basic change theories (which was the basis for Kezar's work, among others).
