I've enjoyed this day, spent in collective bargaining simulation. We begun by meeting in our entire group, and going over the teacher's proposal to the Board. We listened to their rationale for their proposed items, then we caucussed, to make sure we understood what they are asking. After lunch, we reconvened as a Board group to counter propose to the teachers. We have prepared our counter to propose at our next regularly scheduled meeting. I found it interesting that we (Board group) had quite colorful conversations related to the contract, but it was important we came together as a collective group for the sake of the negotiations. I would guess this is very similar to how a real contract negotiation would be.
We then meet with Dr. House to discuss our internships. I enjoyed listening to what my cohort members have been working on as well. Interesting to see how different yet similar all our experiences are playing out.
