First Class Reflection

As a principal in our district, we are not directly involved in I.B.B. We meet as an Administrative Team and list our Interests. We also sit down with the union at our Labor Management Meetings and discuss interests. The actual bargaining is between a select few.

I do believe IBB is a great way to negotiate. Once you get past what I consider the fluff from the beginning, you can really bargain well.

I liked the role playing in class. You can see how difficult it is for some people. Along with the role playing, the exercises of Interest vs. Positions was enjoyable. It is a lot harder to come up with Interest based statements than you think.
