Abstract

Abstract: Implementation of innovations for classroom use is a common requirement for educators. An understanding of change theory research and its relationship to implementing innovations is critical to facilitating adoption of innovations by teachers. After a careful analysis of the change literature and experience with implementing change programs, the authors developed a model for implementing innovations with teachers that considers the nature of change, the stages of change, and the interrelationships that occur during the stages of change. This includes the adoption and re-invention during implementation of an innovation. The Helm-Katz Model also addresses issues such as drivers of change, willingness to participate, the role of the change agent, and the effect of complexity on intention.
