Four elegant perspectives why change is so difficult for teachers.

1. The technical perspective: If the teacher isn’t able to do it, it can’t be done;
2. The cultural perspective: If the teacher doesn’t know how to do it or doesn’t ultimately feel confident doing it, it can’t be done;
3. The political perspective: If the teacher won’t do it, it can’t be done; and,
4. The postmodern perspective: If the teacher has too much to do, it won’t be done well.
