Learning From Dilemmas
Some schools and the people within their schools seem to possess natural problem solving abilities. While this may seem like the case, schools have to work hard at dealing with dilemmas in a way that enhances the mission of the school. We face dilemmas every day in our lives. Some are small and insignificant and you might not even categorize then as a dilemma, while others are monumental and life-changing. Schools need to be purposeful and thoughtful in dealing with dilemmas. Since professional learning communities are avenues for new ideas and deep reflective challenges, it’s inevitable that dilemmas will occur.
