THE 2 QS
•What two questions are every person trying to answer at every moment of their lives?
![Page 3: Complexity and school psych 05 2017](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030318/5a649e747f8b9a70568b4d0d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OFSCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY?
•How did you reach this understanding?
•Do others agree with your understanding?
•What explains the differences in responses?

WHAT ARE THE SYSTEMS YOU INTERACT WITH, OR THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF,
THAT OTHERS ARE INTERACTING WITH?

WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICSOF THESE SYSTEMS?

MORE ON CYNEFIN: STRUCTURES & FLOWS
Where do knowledge and power reside in these systems?

HOW DOES WHAT YOU FEEL, LEARN, UNDERSTAND, AND CAN EXPLORE INFLUENCE
WHAT YOU DO?

• ATTENTION
• INTENTION

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY "EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE" IN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH?
• What do we mean by "Evidence?"
• Which comes first- theory or data?
• How do we assure "fidelity to the EBP" in actual practice in the field?
![Page 15: Complexity and school psych 05 2017](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030318/5a649e747f8b9a70568b4d0d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

THE PERSISTENT, PERNICIOUSPRESUMPTION

CARL ROGERS GOT IT (FROM "THE ART OF FACILITATION" BY DALE HUNTER)
• Free of desire to impose ready-made truths or control outcome
• Respectful hearing of all attitudes and feelings
• Members of a group free to choose collectively & individually, their own processes & work towards their own goals
![Page 23: Complexity and school psych 05 2017](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030318/5a649e747f8b9a70568b4d0d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
SEYMOUR GOT IT TOO
• "We are imperfect people in an imperfect world" (pg 361)
• "We expect there will be discernible variation" (in results of schooling)
• [our classrooms are] "far from being chaotic" [respecting where and what students are] (pg 364)
• "Power transfers to students and teachers" (pg 369)
• "If we started over would we deaign the same thing?" (Pg 367)
• CHANGE THE ASKER-ANSWERER RELATIONSHIP (pg 367)
• TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS, AND PARENTS COOPERATIVELY PLANNED AND IMPLEMENTED ACTION FOR CHANGE (pg 368)
![Page 24: Complexity and school psych 05 2017](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030318/5a649e747f8b9a70568b4d0d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
SEYMOUR REALLY GOT IT!
Sarason notes how he was influenced by his studies with anthropologist Tom Gladwin. . .
"WHO TAUGHT ME A GREAT DEAL ABOUT CULTURE AND THE COMPLEXITIES ENGENDERED BY TRYING TO CHANGE IT."
… Footnote pg374
![Page 25: Complexity and school psych 05 2017](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030318/5a649e747f8b9a70568b4d0d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
AND SO. . .
• We must approach the work of change through the "new lens" of complexity
• Work with others in collaborative dialogue
• STOP the "As If.." Thinking & Behavior. Do not treat truly complex as if technical/complicated
• Recognize there is no "single best" solution
• Recognize no expert has a solution
• Try multiple "safe to fail" experiments of promising ideas & learn as you go
