I feel this class was very beneficial for those of us who intend to become Superintendents. My only concern, was the way this class had to be structured, and the large gaps of time we had between our meetings, somewhat inhibited us from conducting the simulation with consistency. However, that being said, the simulation was well worth the effort, as it gives all of us the opportunity to see and experience the contract negotiations process, which many of us had never experienced.
I enjoyed the presentations by the class, as it gave us additional information on various contract related topics. I particularly enjoyed Lan & Angie's Jeopardy game presentation, as it got all of us involved, and solidified many concepts we learned in class. That might be a good way to get the students involved in the review process before the final.

Lori,
ReplyDeleteThat is a good point. I may have to look into that.
As far as the time between meetings....it happens in real life (look at Illini Bluffs) and, unfortunately, it was the only way to get EDL 623 completed during the summer.
