The bargaining simulation was a brutal reminder that it is so easy for us to forget what it was truly like to be on the "teacher union end" of a bargaining cycle. It was a little difficult to try to think like a teacher again and consider items to request from a board when we now think "board and administration." While putting together the teacher proposal, I felt like we were truly working as a team to form a realistic proposal request similar to what a true teacher proposal would look like. It is interesting to me that we, as administrators now, immediately think "what is the research on that?" I would venture to guess that we have not always thought in those tones.
I find the simulation to be interesting and valuable. Personalities come out even when we role play.
