Rope Reflection

The rope activity has taught me to value other people's ideas in any organization you belong to. Everyone should be given an opportunity to voice out and share concepts while others listen intentionally. However small or great an idea is, it is important and could be considered a way to solve an existing problem.

At times, it is human nature to easily judge others without even assessing the validity of what they said, thoughts or feelings. We should apply a protocol before we stop other people from contributing what could be a brilliant approach in solving a particular obstacle hindering an institution from moving on to reach an ultimate goal. We must try to clarify all things first. Identify the tools and resources that we have that can be used to eliminate said obstacles. Considering all of these and exhausting all the effort that our association has delivered, it could be wise to take into account some external professional assistance that can give us key towards the solution to our problem.

As a teacher leader, I would follow protocols existing in our school and trust my administrators and colleagues that we all are working towards a shared vision for the success of our children. I am going to make it a point to clarify and communicate our goals to each of the teachers in our department. I will explain what needs to be done and listen to ideas that each of us can come up with for this purpose. Then we can decide and work as a group in analyzing things that would or wouldn't work. We can gather data and see if the option we took is giving good results if not we can talk it out and re-examine the issues that came up. We should be open to all other alternatives and try and re-try until we find the ultimate fulfillment of our goal.
