The Brave New World activity was a good way to demonstrate consensus. There were times when I really wanted to tell someone to hush and just agree, it’s really not that big of a deal. I sometimes tell my para-pros to choose their battles, this one’s not worth fighting for, so let it go. This consensus activity made me rethink others “feelings”. Unfortunately, this is an area of weakness for me. I must admit though, majority rules and we’ll probably never get consensus on new initiatives within a school district, I’ll be happy with 80%! But, I will consider how others feel about topics and try a little harder to motivate those who don’t agree.
