Low trustworthiness due to highly-bureaucratic structure - the desire of having full control over the institution can lead to a lot worse situation.

2. Resistance to Change - some people adapt to change much quicker than others

3. Lack of clear guidance and proper leadership (Being told what to do instead of getting 'dirty' and showing what should be done)

Out of touch senior management, with no communication.
2. Staff fear of losing their jobs.
3. Funding of said change!]]> 2017-09-30 15:44:55 UTC https://padlet.com/debmillar68_1/barriers/wish/192685138 Barriers to Change joewilson https://padlet.com/debmillar68_1/barriers/wish/192710752 1. Deep insecurity in the system at all levels that prevents institutions , institutional leaders , senior management teams , teaching staff 
and ultimately learners making the most of a new world of learning within the formal education sector. 

To change this learning organisations need to acknowledge that they need to harness a much more collective base of knowledge than that which exists within their own organisations. 

They also need to see that they can co create and share learning materials far beyond their institutional walls. They must become much more flexible and porous. 

In the classroom this challenges some teacher mindsets around - sage on stage models etc and much more ..

In the corridors it challenges leaders who want to control the information flow in and out of their institutions . 


There should be much greater flexibility around learning and assessment - learners are seeking this. The digitally enabled will turn to new models of learning and leave behind the institutions that cannot change. 

That is insecurity at all levels this includes local authorities , funding bodies , inspection agencies , awarding bodies - as they all need to embrace and support change.

Often easier just to keep doing things instead of changing as no head space given to think things through.
