Homeostasis

=Homeostasis= Homeostasis is the natural desire to maintain a comfortable level of stability. Innovations can force living systems to adapt in ways that they are far from comfortable.

One the most difficult forms of homeostasis to surmount is a previous unsuccessful innovatory experience. //Once bitten, twice shy// is very much true of curriculum development. An ill-conceived, ill-educated change can be the cause of many adverse effects, not the least of which is to create opposition to further innovations

Understanding the issues that the intended adopter is facing at each stage of implementation, and targeting the right concerns at the right time, will go a long way toward containing the discomfort that can lead to homeostatic resistance.
