Participate in a class discussion in which you begin by addressing many of the same issues
that you were exposed to in Module 3 but expand your thinking and discussion to the six
sources of influence. Consider the following issues/questions:

Consider the following issues/questions:

Discuss how the model is broken into the two domains of motivation and how it is further
subdivided into personal, social, and structural sources.

Speculate on how you can use the six sources on influence in your change initiative.

Consider how many sources of influenced needed to be addressed in order to get the kids to
make a change.

Discuss why it is so important to explore all six sources of influence if you
wish to be successful in your change effort.

Peer influence made the difference in the Washed Up video - consider how you can use peer
influence in your change efforts.

Please remember the list of questions are for your benefit and are intended to help you
focus your thinking. We are not asking nor expect you to answer each question in your
discussion--rather you should use these questions to help focus on how the insights gained
through this discussion will help you to add another component to your innovation plan.

This assignment will be assessed as part of your course participation grade.

I was amazed that the number went up so much with four sources.  I didn’t know this would
happen. It would be nice to see all 6 influence at work at one time.

For the video, I am amazed that 11 out of 12 did it. It is great that several sources helped
influence.  Everyone is different and everyone has different motivations.

This video reminded me of what we did recently in our classroom.  We start having our pre-k
students use sanitizer when they go to a new center and I have heard some of them remind
their friends.  We did talk about germs and how we don’t want to get sick.

It is interesting that I was doing this type of influencing and didn't even know it.  My assistant
and I just didn’t want to get sick and miss a day. Mostly because we get in “trouble” for missing
days.  It is frowned upon for us to take a day off and most of the time they want a doctor’s note
when we are out.
