Teaching is a blend of knowledge, pedagogical skills, environmental factors, and personal dispositions. Experience tells individuals that they can successfully impact knowledge, skills, and environmental factors. Dispositions are harder to change. Dispositions--beliefs, attitudes, and experiences--can play a powerful role in the decision making and administrative practices of child care center directors. The author discusses the impact of dispositions on decision making and practice and how beliefs and personal experiences are filters for learning that may be barriers to change. The author opines that the key to supporting changes in attitudes, beliefs, and behavior is to first understand the stage of change that each individual is in and what they need. He suggests that educators can add some attention to dispositions and readiness to change in order to find success.
