Facilitating INPEACE Communities of Practice--Dilemmas of Practice by Pedro Bermudez https://padlet.com/pberm66/81z28jbyd4jb1fjt Use a sticky note to record your FOCUS QUESTION underneath your nest by clicking on the + sign. Once everyone has added their focus question, place a star on the one within your group that you feel is most urgent for the group to address. Remember each person has only 2 stars to use. Do not place your stars until notified by your facilitator to move to that step. en-us 2022-04-20 14:05:35 UTC 2025-11-28 14:44:21 UTC hello@padlet.com Focus Question 2 pberm66 https://padlet.com/pberm66/81z28jbyd4jb1fjt/wish/2150452785 As a new program director, no matter how hard I try to be inclusive and ask for everyone's ideas, about half of the people on my team don't want to do anything new--they think things were just fine before. 

Focus Question:  "How do I work with the people who don't want to change without alienating them?"

Probing Question: 
What do the other half of the people on your team--those willing to try new things--want to do?

What changes do you want to see staff take on and why?

Focus Question:  How can I best support staff in co-developing a cohesive, integrated Hawaiian Culture-Based curriculum?

This is something that I am personally passionate about and have been doing for quite awhile. As the facilitator of this CoP and not a participant, it is challenging not to interject what I think is a best practice or a solution to an issue they might be facing in their work, especially when the room gets quiet and the group doesn't have anymore to add to the conversation either due to them not being a practitioner for that long or being more quiet and reserved. Then I feel like I'm talking too much. 

Focus Question: How do I "stay in my lane" as a facilitator and feel like the group is getting the momst out of the CoP Sessions from one another rather than from me? ]]> 2023-01-17 20:30:29 UTC https://padlet.com/pberm66/81z28jbyd4jb1fjt/wish/2447470706 https://padlet.com/pberm66/81z28jbyd4jb1fjt/wish/2447553118 As a person who tries to lead by example, I want my colleagues to understand the importance of communication and team effort.  It's important that we can communicate our wants and needs, our successes and failures.  When a colleague especially lacks communication and prefers to leave the team out, it makes the team less inclined to move forward in a cohesive way.  

 

Focus Question: 

How do I engage an uncooperative colleague who is not a team player.

Although this is part of our grant, it is not the most important thing on our partners minds.

As numbers do not always reveal the multi-faceted dilemmas or challenges that are associated with our participantsʻ experience, the ways in which data is captured and the structures under which reports are framed may obscure the foundational tenets of our mission and vision. IOW, how do we make it more conducive to our ʻŌiwi cultural values while complying with the Western format that satisfies our funders? ]]> 2023-01-18 03:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/pberm66/81z28jbyd4jb1fjt/wish/2447781855 https://padlet.com/pberm66/81z28jbyd4jb1fjt/wish/2448793343 As a result of recent changes in our dept there is a new vision for the way we operate. As part of this transition a number of projects have been put in place to make immediate improvements. I have been asked to steward some of these projects -  and work with a few staff members who have previously not worked as a team/ with our team. At the same time they may be confused by the change, and have some hesitation, some lack  confidence, have limited competencies, and little to no understanding of the work that needs to be done. I'm super passionate about this work and eager to get it done.

As an afterschool program, there are many other programs that offer after school services and other programs parents prioritize over enrolling their haumāna in Eō. Although, I like having a small group of students, our enrollment numbers have been very low for a free, afters-chool program.

How can I work with the community to increase enrollment for Eō?]]> 2023-01-18 20:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/pberm66/81z28jbyd4jb1fjt/wish/2448962513 https://padlet.com/pberm66/81z28jbyd4jb1fjt/wish/2448971626 I am currently leading my ʻohana in starting a non-profit which will financially aide in the work that we do in our  ʻāina kūpuna. Our pilina and work ethics are products of the Hawaiian cultural values which our kūpuna had passed down from generations before. The common framework and process for beginning a non-profit is a foreign practice and the details of creating and fine tuning the bylaws require thought processes that lead some ʻohana to question it because they feel like the concept is too haole. This has caused a hold up in the progress of the startup. I was given this leadership role by the ʻohana as a whole including our kūpuna, and all, even the ones who are causing the hold up, are wanting the non-profit piece for our ʻohana. Ultimately we have always mālama our ʻāina and kuleana with what he have but we are currently wanting to fill our ʻohana's financial ʻumeke for longevity.
