WOW what a week, the simulation game was so much fun. It was interesting put the pieces together and learn about involving key players into a committees to make tasks successful. This week we will be doing it again and hopefully we can move our tasks faster. I enjoyed this game and believe it would be a great staff development game for teachers to see how a leader struggles to pull the appropriate individuals together in order to make a district/school successful with change. It is not as easy as one my believe.

Mary,
ReplyDeleteI agree...the simulation was fun! We had our frustrating moments, but we celebrated when we finally got the answers we wanted and were able to move our people. I also agree that it would be a great game for others to participate in. Sometimes it can be very difficult and frustrating trying to get everyone on the same page and in total agreement. I am looking forward to finishing the simulation this week. Good luck to your team!
I'm glad to hear that your team did so well! Our team had it's challenges, but tonight is another night, and we will persevere! And I think you're right - if our staff would play this game, they would see what goes into getting a consense, and realize that perhaps they should be a little more understanding to the person seeking the consense!
