CHANGE PROCESS
The invention of modern technology in education and the new generation excitement for chat and other technological devices, compel educators to change their teaching styles to match the learning styles of their learners. While change is inevitable, policy makers and administrators must be cognizant that there are certain characteristics of the change agents that determine the level of success of any initiative. Francis Fuller (1969) in her seminal work proposes six types of concerns that individuals experience as they implement an innovation. Building on Fuller's work, other change experts (Hall,1989; Fullan, 2003; Hargreaves, 2005) postulate that personal characteristics such one's qualification, experience and sense of efficacy are also determinants of successful implementation of an innovation. This unit addresses these personal characteristics that the individuals are likely to experience.
