Practical scenarios

I felt that the group activity which was completed to discuss the option of closing one of two high schools in a district was very helpful. It allowed me to not only organize my thoughts, but it provided me with an opportunity to hear other view points from persons in my group regarding the problem. Each group member shared different experiences that assisted in problem solving the major issues that would need to be examined in that situation. To me, this activity supports the need for a diverse team to be developed in a real situation such as this in order to fully determine the needs and to examine the solutions that arise.

I agree with the idea of involving others in the decision process. A lot of good ideas can be brought to the table by others just like the project illustrated. The one thing with that is no matter how many people in the committee agree with the decisions being made it still falls on the principal. Similar to how Dr. Closen pointed out the number of people that sat in on the decisions to choose new textbooks but in the end never agreed with the textbook chosen.
