What Win-Win means to me:
Win-win is the art to compromise, the give and take game of negotiation. A win-win situation is the one in which everyone takes something. Although in many instances some people may thing that they are loosing because they are not taking all, at the end, there is greater benefits when we share. It is based on the concept of collaboration Vs competition. Summative, not subtractive. In some cases there is a need for added efforts to achieve a goal then sharing it after.
What do I want to change and commit to (modeling)?
· To increase the level of communication.
· To find more ways to effectively compromise with people around me.
· Identifying what is an acceptable solution.
· Review the situation through different perspectives.
· Avoid competitive settings for my students.
Teaching new knowledge:
First I will read the story The Little Red Hen to introduce and discuss the concept. After discussing about the story we will make connections and come up with possibly changing the story into a more win-win situation. I am also thinking on having some activities and games that call for compromising. For example, giving one granola bar for 3 students. Students will have to discuss what is the best way to deal with this situation and how to make it a win-win.
