Assignment -
Using your knowledge of your specific organization, the four frames, appreciative inquiry (strengths of existing organizational culture), and strategic management (7 areas of logical incrementalism), please develop at least 10 questions to use for your two interviews (principal and another staff person).
Interview questions should never be yes/no nor either/or in format (don't start with "have you ever?" "do you?"). They should be "open-ended," in a way that allows the interviewee to expand on their thoughts.
Also, you need to ask at least one "direct question" that addresses what they would like to change, improve, or explore as an opportunity.
Note! Required: With each developed question, include a reference to identify one of the above four areas that relate to the specific question. I ask this in an attempt to make sure you cover these four areas, somewhat.
I'd recommend starting with 2-3 "Appreciative" questions before getting into "areas of critique." That being said, please avoid any pejorative questions that show any bias or beliefs, on your part, on what is "wrong with your organization."
Feel free to develop more questions (no more than 12 total). Also, remember your discussion board assignment will be the posting of these questions for review and comment by your peers. Please be open to both constructive feedback and compliments!
You will receive 6 points for developing the 10 questions, and up to 4 points for covering and referencing the above areas.
Lastly, please hold off on performing the interviews until you've received feedback from your peers and me, as you may want and need to refine the questions a bit.
Then, set-up the interviews in time to submit the 11/10 assignment!
