So what happens when an enforced change is dropped upon you from a great height with no clear guidance or respect for what is happening/being achieved right now?
Think I know the answer to this one...you run!
By placing constraints on the teacher in the classroom, and removing the 'get out of jail' card they may wish to play if things get a little ropey with some of their students, the only outcome is removal of risk.
Its risk that keeps the interest in the lesson, that allows students to be released and try, that removes the cobwebs of conditioning and habit from teachers and allows the class to experience something that all parties will remember.
Remove the ability to take risks and when the dust settles the textbook is king...
