This is my first experience with collective bargaining. As a teacher, my district had just begun the interest based method as I was leaving. In my current position, building principals are not involved in the traditional collective bargaining. A small committee representing the BOE and the superintendent are the only people involved administratively. Thanks to my internship I will be participating in our bargaining endeavor and am thankful for the upcoming experience.
I can see where the interest based method would be effective. I think the level of trust and individual personalities really come into play with this task. In my district no matter the result of the bargaining, the process is always viewed as "us against them". I am anxious to experience (as an observer) my districts current process while taking this class. I know I need to work on my "poker face"!!
