That, of course is a bad practice when facilitating RSD sessions because facilitators need to withhold judgement and assumptions. ]]> 2021-03-30 19:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerthinks/1ud8ate0yi1igdp5/wish/1369459182 https://padlet.com/walkerthinks/1ud8ate0yi1igdp5/wish/1369461139 2021-03-30 19:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerthinks/1ud8ate0yi1igdp5/wish/1369461139 susanmadsen1 https://padlet.com/walkerthinks/1ud8ate0yi1igdp5/wish/1369465785 This video talked about each of the steps in the ladder and uses a good example of how it works. I teach a lot of unconscious bias training and it relates a lot to some of those concepts as well. (Susan)]]> 2021-03-30 19:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerthinks/1ud8ate0yi1igdp5/wish/1369465785 https://padlet.com/walkerthinks/1ud8ate0yi1igdp5/wish/1369573621 2021-03-30 20:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerthinks/1ud8ate0yi1igdp5/wish/1369573621 https://padlet.com/walkerthinks/1ud8ate0yi1igdp5/wish/1369581174 I think the Ladder of Inference is relevant to RSD because it's application can cause us to slow down and examine the inferences we make from the data we use. In emotionally charged discussions, the LoI model acts as an internal mirror-- reflecting back to us unconscious "shark jumps" we made in reaching our conclusions.]]> 2021-03-30 20:11:48 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerthinks/1ud8ate0yi1igdp5/wish/1369581174 https://padlet.com/walkerthinks/1ud8ate0yi1igdp5/wish/1369979618 In summary, the rungs are a process of how we observe the world and process that information. In short, the ladder is 1. observation, 2. filter, 3. interpretation, 4. assumptions, 5. our own conclusions, 6. affirm/re-evaluate beliefs, and 7. respond/action. In the example of the video, the real life example demonstrated how to 'short circuit' our ladder of inference.]]> 2021-03-30 23:43:33 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerthinks/1ud8ate0yi1igdp5/wish/1369979618 https://padlet.com/walkerthinks/1ud8ate0yi1igdp5/wish/1369984216 I thought this video explained the Ladder of Inference in a succinct and engaging way. The video played out a real-world scenario one might experience in a workplace, utilizing the example as a way to explain the content in a potentially relatable way. I plan to share this video with my teammates and broader organization - love it!]]> 2021-03-30 23:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerthinks/1ud8ate0yi1igdp5/wish/1369984216 https://padlet.com/walkerthinks/1ud8ate0yi1igdp5/wish/1370029818 I came across this article where the author presents a new model for communication called LENS. Students who seek to study abroad are the poplation this tool aims to assist. In explaining the tool the author covers other models to include the ladder of inference. I see the ladders relevance as the author states in her critique: as a method to bring about self-reflection. If as RSD facilitators we do not develop our own skills in self reflection, then we will be at a loss to guide others. I liked the comparison and background of the other models as well.]]> 2021-03-31 00:10:42 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerthinks/1ud8ate0yi1igdp5/wish/1370029818 https://padlet.com/walkerthinks/1ud8ate0yi1igdp5/wish/1370090305

When each person in a group reacts to an event using their own experiences to interpret events, tensions and conflict will likely result. The Ladder of Inference is a simple took that we can use to help us understand the perspectives that emerge during RSD.  Using the Ladder of Inference can help us understand how past experiences color, frame, and shape interactions with other people.  Without reflection and inquiry, how can we get people on the same page so that they can begin making sense of a situation together?

It uses the example of a manager texting during an annual meeting, and asks colleagues to climb the ladder of inference to simulate the level they had reach in making inferences about the texting manager's behaviour. I think the ladder of inference may be relevant to a discussion on RSD as it creates a framework that encourages listening and not jumping to conclusions about others' behaviour before we have more information.  It is a useful too to ground difficult conversations.

There were a lot of images available, but I selected this one because of the way it calls out beliefs and assumptions. It seems to me that these are an important connection between Argyris' conception of the ladder of inference and RSD. The way RSD builds in silent reflection, scaffolding to prevent sub-group formation, structured sharing of positionality, and listening for interest and understanding are all things that uncover our own beliefs and assumptions while allowing us to understand where others are 'coming from'.]]> 2021-03-31 09:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerthinks/1ud8ate0yi1igdp5/wish/1371198152 https://padlet.com/walkerthinks/1ud8ate0yi1igdp5/wish/1371505884 This is a favorite article of mine.  The LOI is so relevant because we will continue to select the data that conforms with our assumptions and preferred actions. We have to learn to climb back down and question the data we are selecting and what assumptions we are making.

This blogpost also explores ‘expert bias’ a syndrome that may be epidemic in higher education.  We are encouraged to be subject matter experts; however this may be to the detriment of ongoing education and making connections with those that may not echo our ivory tower, upper echelon, expertise.
