After hearing the attorney, I wish as the board in the simulation we had started with the goals. I think that would have given us something to start with that was positive (or potentially) rather than just a list of asks and then respond to those. I like the feel of that better.
I also found his comments regarding the process of doing interest based bargaining interesting. I thought that he found the IEA method to be cumbersome and the outcome could be more in favor of the teachers. I also thought the method was cumbersome and SO time consuming. But I really like the concept.
He seemed to as well. I think the approach and starting with goals would help that. I REALLY liked the idea of the supt making sure to build those relationships as you go throughout the year to head off any issues, but also to be aware of the issues that would be coming from teachers in order to be prepared. I could see that supt who are not connected would have little or no idea of what issues teachers might find important. I think this would be very impacting especially in a small school like I am now.
Very insightful Sunday and great speaker.
