CES Fall Forum 2016

The James Baldwin School was founded on a belief that teachers and administrators would make decisions together. Scaling that up as the faculty increased in number was challenging. In this workshop, participants will learn about and practice a consensus decision-making process that can help your school increase the level of participation of your staff and increase the accountability to put decisions into action. Participants will reflect on the value and challenges that come with large group consensus based decision making, explore our artifacts and protocols, and apply some of these processes towards coming to consensus around a whole school decision.
