4 Disciplines of Execution

Reading that organizations collectively spend over $30 billion annually on strategy creation, yet over 80% of those strategies fail, is astonishing. FranklinCovey's 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX) methodology aims to enhance strategic execution by fostering a high-performance culture within these organizations.

Change follows a predictable pattern, and leaders can benefit from using a framework known as the Change Model. Since change is fundamentally a human endeavor, the most effective leaders prioritize the needs of their people over rigid adherence to processes. As a Lead Teacher, my goal is to teach how to transform the uncertainty of change into opportunities and help my students navigate current and future changes more effectively.

My mission is to enable greatness in every student at my school, which fundamentally involves embracing change. Whether it's developing exceptional students, instilling effective habits, building an inclusive and high-trust culture, or implementing a common execution framework tied to significant objectives, the aim is to embed change into their core. This way, we can appreciate how they live, work, and achieve both individual and collective goals.

In my Innovation Proposal, I propose expanding the use of blended learning in the classroom while incorporating a dual language program. This approach would benefit all students by enhancing their communication skills in both English and Spanish, thereby strengthening language proficiency for both native English and Spanish speakers.

The goal of this plan is to empower students to take ownership of their development, leading to improvements in their blended learning experiences and their adaptability to change.

To ensure the success of this initiative, I have outlined a plan to educate teachers on the benefits of the dual language program and how to effectively implement it in their classrooms. This plan includes offering a professional development course for teachers during the summer, followed by the initial phase of implementation, which will integrate the dual language program into all reading, writing, and social studies classrooms.
