The Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM)

The Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM) is a framework that helps understand how individuals and groups adopt new practices or innovations, especially in education. It focuses on the concerns people have during this process, recognizing that these concerns can change over time. CBAM identifies different stages of adoption, ranging from awareness to routine use. By addressing these concerns, educators and leaders can provide better support, tailored resources, and strategies to ease the transition, ultimately improving the effectiveness of new initiatives in schools and other organizations.
