Single-loop learning – doing things right
12
Leads to
Actions• What we do
Results• What we
achieve
• Repeated attempt to answer the same problem• Ignores the question of why the problem arose in the first place
Which shapes future…

Double-loop learning – doing the right things
13
• Using feedback from past actions to question assumptions• Seeks alternatives on order to dramatically improve things• Learning new beliefs often means UNLEARNING old ones
Beliefs
Why we do what we do

Exercise Important Concern
Identify your most important concerns Complete the following:
Nature of concern.What have you done about it?Why did you use this approach?What happened?
Feel free to discuss with a partner but use pseudonyms for real people’s names

Stage 1: ME
For any points of conflict…Do I connect with the school’s vision and values?Do I model the vision and values?What mental models do I hold of particular teachers, adult learning, student learning, growth versus fixed mindset (Dweck), the homes of our students, etc?What systems are in place to support the change the vision demands?

Personal Integrity
Personal integrity connects to the teachers’ views of how leadership makes their decisions to serve the interest of the whole, rather than the ‘squeaky wheel’ All these determinates apply to school leadership but also the quality of interpersonal trust

Stage 2: WE
For any points of conflict…What are the expectations in your vision?Are the expectations and vision explicit?Is there...

Before changes (however minor) can be made, trust must be engendered
between the members of the team that will enact the change.

Building Relational TrustViviane Robinson
BES – shows how much student achievement increases for one increase in leadership performance in the given area.Initiatives – interdependence - high-risk vulnerabilityThe more high risk the more we are willing to disengage

Exercise Important Concern 2
Go back to your important concernConsider it in light of the presentation so far. What do you think now about the:
Nature of concern.What happened?
Would you change:What you did about it?How you approached it?
Feel free to discuss with a partner but use pseudonyms for real people’s names

How does this help my talk with Stephen?
Clear vision + clear values = have common expectations about teacher performanceCommon expectations = build relational trustTrust = more open to discuss behaviour that diverges from good practice (as described in the vision)To discuss and maintain trust = need to be open to learn about their theory of action
31
![Page 32: Trust and open to learn seminar](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558ed7651a28abd9458b45ca/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
How do school leaders tend to address an issue?
‘They’ either Focus on taskOR Sacrifice the task
Pussy footing, Easing in, giving up
OR THEYFocus on the relationship
32

Open to Learn Conversations
Goal is not to be liked but to be respected as you move through difficult timesBalance the task (student achievement) and the relationship
33

Open to Learning Conversations
Open to learning conversations
Build trusting interpersonal relationships
Teacher - stronger professional community
Students - more social and academic progress

Key Values in OLCs
Respect for self and others
Valid Information
Internal commitment to decisions
35
![Page 36: Trust and open to learn seminar](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558ed7651a28abd9458b45ca/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Stage 3: Valid information
If you are to explore an issue, that the other person has invested their emotions in, you need to objectify to break down the emotional wallsExamine your own opinions AND those of the other person using the ‘Ladder of Influence”
36
![Page 37: Trust and open to learn seminar](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558ed7651a28abd9458b45ca/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

The stronger ladder is where we interrupt these rungs:
• What information / logic led me to my conclusion / judgment?
Interrupt conclusions
• What other possible interpretations are there?
Interrupt interpretations
• Am I reporting the situation accurately?Interrupt descriptions
• What have I noticed? What might I have missed?
Interrupt selection
38
![Page 39: Trust and open to learn seminar](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558ed7651a28abd9458b45ca/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
When do I use an OLC?All
conversations
Value applicable at all times
Courageous conversations
Giving and receiving hard
messages
When people's views differ
When a lot is at stake
More deliberate and explicit use
of strategies
39
![Page 40: Trust and open to learn seminar](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558ed7651a28abd9458b45ca/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
The OLC processSay what you think
Say why you think it
Inquire•Their reactions,
own thoughts, Accuracy
(paraphrase / check)
Evaluate / critique thinking
Establish common ground
Make a plan
40
![Page 41: Trust and open to learn seminar](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558ed7651a28abd9458b45ca/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Acknowledge feelings and emotionsWalking away and refusing to engage in problem solving is a serious matterIf you think you’ve stuffed up
Test whether you DID stuff up. Expect to make mistakes and if you’ve gone wrong in your assumptions, share that with your peers.
Everything on the table Including personal background information that may be influencing the problem.
Summarizing and repeated processing are the key tools in a team situation for an OLC
41
![Page 42: Trust and open to learn seminar](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558ed7651a28abd9458b45ca/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
A dialogue is two way...
Say what you thinkIf complex, say “…this is my interpretation of it. What is yours?”“This is very hard for me to say so it’s important for me to check that you understand what I said. Can you tell me what you think I just said?”
And I interpret that as…I don’t recall it like that….
42
![Page 43: Trust and open to learn seminar](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558ed7651a28abd9458b45ca/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Refer to evidence – research and data
Seek warranted agreement about important claimsEvaluate / critique our thinkingModel using evidence and examples to test your own and others’ important assumptions
E.g. I want teachers in the room 15 minutes before a lesson because we know that the link between home and school is vital to building relational trust in the classroom. The 15 minutes is vital to establish what is happening at home, what is affecting the child etc. BEFORE getting them down to working with a mind that has downloaded problems and any barriers to learning.

Refer to evidence – research and data
Establish common groundFind out what you have in common that is relevant to the conversationAsk people what they want from a conversationUse common ground as a basis for sorting out difference, e.g. shared goals.
Make an agreed planThe plan might be to learn more about the situationUnderstand the problem before settling on a planAgree on next steps before finishing the conversationEnsure all parties are committed to the plan44

Other thoughts
Conclusion in your head before the OLC? Then you are ‘Quizzing’ not understandingOngoing situation
“We’ve had multiple conversations but I don’t feel I have got to the most important issue. I would like to give you my opinion and get your point of view.”
What to do if you are worried about confronting a colleague who has some ‘mana’?Paraphrasing serves two purposes: It clarifies what has been said, and; gives you time to think about your next step.

Exercise Important Concerns
Revisit your ‘most important concern’ issueComplete the following:
Would you change your approach in light of OLCs?What do you think will happen differently? (Think, pair, share)When are you going to put it into action?
47
![Page 48: Trust and open to learn seminar](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070321/558ed7651a28abd9458b45ca/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Theory of Action (ToA) Template

Beliefs andassumptions
Actions
Consequences

Process
Fill in action box first - observable happenings Consider the beliefs and assumptions nextThen the consequences in light of the beliefs and assumptions. When you can fill the graphic in, you understand the deeper influences(People who want to have new initiatives tend to fill in the actions first and then persuade)

Stage 4: IT – the outcome
“In leading change you need to inquire into the things you don’t like. Focus on the existing practice.”
