Week 5
Going to a restaurant for class is right up my alley! It is very nice to see colleagues outside of our usual settings. As far as the game, it made me think more like an administrator about how change happens in schools. There are many more hurdles involved that I never really thought about. I also never really looked at the budget aspect in much detail before either. At first, I was very confused by the game but we had some good members in our group that made some good calls. Another important thing that we all noticed was the fact that you will always have people who sort of buck the system and do not go along with change. You can try to get them on board but it just isn’t worth the expense some times. Some people are just too set in their ways to accept change. In the long run, the energy was best spent on others who were involved in the change. For me, it was an eye opener about what it must be like to be in administration, and I am glad I did not pursue an administrative masters program.

I agree with many of your points, Ryan. It didn't seem to be worth the effort/expense to try to retreat back to pull up those that refused to move in the first place. However, considering the tactical moves it seems an administrator has to make, I thought you may enjoy it...kind of like a game of chess!
