Mantle of the expert workshop – NATD conference 28th sept 2013

Steps into the imaginary context – Divers
1. Inquiry: “What would we need to consider if we we were responsible for finding & recovering bodies from an under water wreck?”
2. (General discussion 2mjns) “What would an irresponsible team of builders do?”
3. (Stepping into the fiction) Please answer this next question ‘as’ the team of divers: “What would we never do?” Stand in a circle to answer.
4. As people give suggestions – (emphasis): “What does this tell us about our values?”
5. Teacher in Role (TIR): opportunity to fins out more, people can ask questions, i.e. “How much do we know?” ; “What is the time limit?”
6. (Outside) “We are going to think about creating some of the artefacts?”
7. (Expressive) “Could I ask you for a moment to think about what you need to do to prepare for a dive… Can you just think of one thing you know you would do… The first thing, just for a moment… Just step into the representative mode…”
(Teacher demonstrates an example)
8. People step into the fiction, “Could this side of the room reflex… Please look, what do you notice?”
9. “What he is doing… What has he got to meditate about? (Looking at the others) “can you see any others in a state of apprehension?” (People are noticing the ‘sign’)
10. “If you wouldn’t mind just going over and asking these people…” (Conversational, not interrogation)
11. “Ladies and gentleman would you mind coming into the briefing room.”
12. (TIR) “concerning this next dive, we have some tensions… It is a particularly deep dive, bear in mind time, please check all the equip.”
13. “Are there any questions?” People ask questions inside the fiction.
14. Step outside the fiction to share the responsibly of invention.
15. (Reflection) “What tensions are emerging?”
16. “How might we represent ourselves when we go down into the water? What’s the job we’ve got when we get down there? Just give yourself job down there.”
17. “Can you let us know the job.”
18. “Just get into a position where the job is finished… 1.2.3.4.5”
19. “This side please look at what you notice…”
20. “What would happen really if you stayed over time?” (Inquiry)
21. “Could you string three actions together… It could be the beginning the middle and the end.”
22. “Could I just this team here keep an eye on this group here… OK… Off you go”
“Are you getting the impression of water here… Their not under water, we know… Does that seem ‘watery’ to you?”
