What will their parents say?) and finally they become concerned with the results (‘Will the new practice really lead to better teaching and learning experiences?’). | In their book ''Change in Schools'' (1987), Hall and Hord wrote about the concerns of teachers who face the challenge of trying out new practices in their classroom.
