Pace of Change?

Driving home from Atlanta I thought about a comment that I have heard many times, "Change is happening too fast." If the change is going to be in the best interest of our students, how do we slow things down? I feel a sense of urgency and a moral obligation to do all that we can for the students currently in our school. How do I lead change in a way that takes care of the teachers but also makes things better for the students?
