Ms. Manning's Stages of Concern
At the beginning of the semester, Ms. Manning had two high peak scores, Stage 0 (i.e.,
unconcerned) and Stage 6 (i.e., refocusing); see Figure 6. Her concerns at Stage 0 aligned with
the concerns of first-year teachers as described by Fuller (1969). Her question responses
indicated that her time was occupied by other things (Question 21) and that other things might be
taking priority to the innovation (Question 30). During the interview, Ms. Manning supported
her feelings of being a new teacher and working on figuring things out:
And I think it's hard for me right now as a new teacher to figure out what to do with the
laptops because of the fact that not all of [the students], especially the younger ones,
know what to do quite yet. So they're still also learning, and I'm still also learning how I
can put their laptops to good use without just using the textbooks. So it's an interesting
balance to figure out what we can do with [BYOT].100%
