 I think, therefore I am resistant to change
This organizational mental model - what people think their school district stands for and how they think it should function - then makes it difficult for people to think and act in ways that don't fit the model, so educators find it difficult to accommodate new and innovative ideas.
Because these new ways of acting and thinking are just experiments, the risks associated with failure are substantially reduced, people become more willing to consider feedback with an open mind, and they are more likely to evaluate results objectively.
For example, a curriculum specialist might think, "A blend of phonics and whole-language reading instruction is a wonderful way for children to learn how to read and understand language."

 Cogito ergo sum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The originality of Descartes thinking, therefore, is not so much in expressing the cogito -a feat accomplished by other predecessors, as we have seen- but on using the cogito as demonstrating the most fundamental epistemological principle, that science and mathematics are justified by relying on clarity, distinctiveness, and self-evidence.
The contention is that this is a syllogistic inference, for it appears to require the extra premise: "Whatever has the property of thinking, exists", and that extra premise must surely have been rejected at an earlier stage of the doubt.
He claims, for example, that what we are dealing with when we talk of thought, or when we say "I am thinking", is something conceivable from a third-person perspective; namely objective "thought-events" in the former case, and an objective thinker in the latter.

 cogito ergo sum - I think, therefore I am (Latin to English translation glossary) Art/Literary
Descartes coined the phrase \"Cognito, ergo sum.\" (\"I think, therefore I am\") which was a conclusion that there was only one thing of which he could be certain; that he existed!...\"
“I think” can only prove this: that “I think.” And he might just as well infer from it the existence of thought as the existence of I. He is asked to prove the latter, and immediately assumes that it exists and does something, and then infers that it exists because it does something.
