The nature of technology is change. From infrastructure to hardware to applications, technology is intended to change our lives—that is, to make us better, faster, smarter, more efficient.
Yet, for all the improvements that technology offers, we all know that for most people change is unpleasant. Change is so unpleasant that even a minor change can be met with severe resistance.
The mission of the Change Management team is to provide the knowledge necessary to successfully implement, adopt, and utilize new and existing technology to enhance education at Chicago Public Schools.
