Change is a challenge

Change Management: A Leadership Perspective By Marielena from CHEVRON, fall 2010

First of all, concerning the ppt I can say that it is not correct. There are too many long and complex sentences, that's why it is difficult to read it. We were taught to use only keywords in ppt. Secondly, the slides are not eye-catching? Why should I read them? Because it is my assignment? Because the teacher said that it was good for me? Why is it good? The ppt is not impressive at all. Though the idea is great. The above-written questions is the example of what a student can ask when he/she is given a task. So, in my opinion, the 1st thing we must pay attention to is developing critical thinking. We should teach students think about the reason of what they are doing. So, in the nearest future students can ask questions and teachers must be ready to answer them. Unfortunately, the majority of teachers are not ready for these changes. They want students obey them totally.
Second, if we want to change something we should begin with the top. That means, with our administration because however smart and modern teachers are, they can't do anything without the approval of the boss.
I've learnt much from these courses and I hope I will be able to apply the knowledge I got here.

Changes are very important for Kazakhstan but sometimes I think there are too many changes. We don’t cope with them sometimes. For example, every day something changes, something happens in our school. The teachers, as well as students, are overloaded with information. I don’t say that it is bad but everything should be done gradually, step by step that everything will be great!
