IGUANA – the key problem addressed

• Schools could develop and innovate more

effectively if they identified and addressed repetitive behaviours that keep them stuck

• These repetitive behaviours operate at both

the individual level (members of the school) and the organisational level (the school)

STUCKNESS:

A person, a family, or a wider social system enmeshed in a problem in persistent and repetitive ways, despite desire and effort to alter the situation.

• -Watzlawick, 1974

The cycle of stuckness

If I get it right everything will be OK Everything is not OK It must be my fault Because I'm not good enough So I must try harder to get it right

IGUANA: the theory

• Schools will develop more effectively if they

develop the emotional intelligence of their members

• And the organisational intelligence of their

school

“There are academically bright people who cannot teach and other people who may not have been the most gifted at university [but] who have the emotional intelligence and spark to really engage a classroom." (Michael Gove, former UK Minister of Education)

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

a holistic way of looking at, and engaging with the world ……….. a continuous process of self- awareness and self-development

ORGANISATIONAL INTELLIGENCE

the capacity to make sense of complex situations, apply this sense making to effective action, develop, share and use knowledge and reflect and learn from experience

OR in other words ……. INNOVATION CAPACITY

and review outcomes of self-assessment – using ‘action learning set’ approach

• Assignments – to help schools apply the self-assessment

and learning content to address real issues in their own schools e.g. develop a ‘Change Plan’

• Peer review and benchlearning – schools collaborate on-
