My student e-portfolio innovation plan is not one that can be properly executed by just one person. So many factors attribute to the make or break of this initiative, therefore it is safe to say that rather than focusing on changing one thing, the focus should be on leading organizational change. How do you go about doing that? Simply commanding people to make a change is very unlikely to give you the desired results. A better approach is to use the power of influence, one method in particular is the Influencer Model as outlined by Patterson and Grenny. (2013) The Influencer Model starts by identifying measurable results, then finding the vital behaviors that will make those results achievable. The next step is using the six sources of influence which are as follows: personal motivation, personal ability, social motivation, social ability, structural motivation, and structural ability.

If you walk into a school and survey the students, many students will describe school as boring; they lack to see the importance in going to school and will either merely comply to meet the requirements, cheat their way to graduation, or drop out. Is this what we want for our children? Is this what we want for our society? Do we want our society to be made up of members with regrets and unfulfilled goals because they lacked to see value in the education they were being provided with? Personally, I would love to see a world with an abundance of doctors, engineers, scientists, meteorologists, architects, lawyers, educators, and pharmacists that pursued a higher education in their respective field because they discovered a passion for that subject and continue to educate themselves in order to feed that passion.
Prior to starting the course EDLD 5313 Creating Significant Learning Environments, I believed that the learning environment referred solely to the physical aspects of my classroom. Now I know that it extends far beyond that. The post Creating Significant Learning Environments, contains my thoughts on the importance of CSLE, how we need to allow students time to explore/discover on their own in order for them to take ownership of their learning, which will lead to more meaningful learning experiences, and the importance of seeing the big picture.
