What Is “The Implementation Dip”?

Literally a dip in performance and confidence as one encounters an innovation that requires new skills and new understandings

Feelings associated with the “dip” include anxiousness, fearfulness, confusion and cautiousness

2011 GPAEA 29

BEWARE OF…The Implementation Dip

“One of our most consistent findings and understandings about the change process in education is that all successful schools experience “implementation dips” as they move forward.

-Michael Fullan

2011 GPAEA 30

How Effective Leaders Deal with the “Dip”

They know that change is a process, not an event.

They don’t panic, they manage the “dip” They encourage staff to continue with their

efforts. They “launch” an initiative and make

adjustments based on data. They listen.

2011 GPAEA 31

REMEMBER…Key “Jobs” as you implement your plan

Meet regularly to monitor progress

Have a focused review process Maintain the focus and

endurance of the plan Include appropriate LEA and

AEA members in your team Communicate and celebrate

the progress
