first weekend

This first weekend was very informative. Negotiations as a suprintendent are much different than that of a teacher. In every district I have been involved in they have kept the principal out of harms way. The philosophy has been "you have to work with the teachers and if negotiations turn sour you need to be neutral". This class is giving me a different perspective.

The overall concept of negotiations is common knowledge but I enjoyed the key "little" hints.

The session on IBB was very informative. I now see why the training takes two days. We learned enough to understand the process but not to participate.
