School change expert and former COE professor to speak June 19

Gene Hall, a former University of Florida education professor and internationally recognized scholar on the topic of change in K-12 schools, will present a seminar at Criser Hall June 19. Titled “Implications of leader style on the success of change implementation,” the seminar will share insights from Hall’s research on the Concerns-Based Adoption Model, a framework that describes, explains and predicts probable teacher behaviors throughout the school change process.

This model has been the subject of research for more than 35 years and is featured in Hall’s latest book, Implementing Change – Patterns, Principles and Potholes.

The seminar will be held from 10-11:30 a.m. in Criser Hall room S201A. The seminar is open to anyone interested.
