The idea of convincing a distinct, an administrator or even another teacher to entertain a systemic change because you as an individual have come to a new pedagogical understanding is not reasonable. Your dedication to the students and your ability to accept required methodologies that have been adopted will generate trust and perhaps admiration over time. The new understandings that you have developed will surface in integral ways within the structured curriculum. Those that watch over the advancement of your students will soon come to trust you as a teacher and perhaps be interested in your ideas and methods in time. You will evolve into a different teacher as you learn more about “learning” and that will absolutely affect your students in a positive way.
