Yes Jan, we always are left with a decision, but when D is left of it is easy to ignore making a self-conscious one. Since Steve Harrington referred to me, my comment was really was an observation of a situation I was watching in Chicago. I was aware how easy it was to “Discard” as a response to something that had meaning. I knew at the time that seeing this situation was a “message” to me and my response (not necessarily acting right there on it) had to be taken into my interior. That is what I meant that people love to talk about problems, but never see they have some internal response that needs to be authentic.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Jack</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Aug 31, 2015, at 5:19 PM, Randy Williams via Dialogue <<a href="mailto:dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net" class="">dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><div dir="auto" class=""><div class="">In Catholic social teaching they have a 3-step process--see, decide, act.

<div class="">I don't know what it means that the Decisional step in ORID has disappeared. We are left with a decision if we reflect on and interpret the objective events of our lives and times. Is it that, in instructional or facilitating situations we don't push participants for a decision?</div>

My bilingual education mentor was Alma Flor Ada. She'd fled Castro's Cuba to live in Chile for a time. Her mentor was Paulo Freire, who had fled Brazil to live in Chile. She invited me to a seminar with him when she taught at Univ. of San Francisco in the 80's. What a privilege!
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">The method she taught and used in her textbooks was very similar to ORID. She called the last step "Creative" rather than "Decisional". I like it. Whether Decision or Creativity, we're stuck with that last step.</div>

Jack Gilles quoted earlier this tread said that the "D" in

</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">

"D" might just as well stand for disaster or maybe a "dumpster" for the seemingly

It seems like the "

Attitude was about having place to stand -"to be" in the world", to be a self with a past history and future to decide as a free human being. See this photo image:

Bill Salmon and I had some fun trying to write a little about those old board images and try to bring them to life in the 21st Century. He's a pretty good writer, by the way -short and straight.

Attitude was an essential part of actually having a place to stand in the -then education crisis of the times - and still have something to have some vitality to offer any learner 5th City Preschool student, or a Training Inc student...RS1 CS1 LENS, it didn't seem to matter.

David Scott describes in an Archives oral history interview the same basic sense of things.

He and his wife and the
<span class="" id=":2e3.15">Fishels</span> as new members of the Order met in a
<span class="" id=":2e3.16">PSU</span> and developed the Summer 65 for 50 young college students, pastors, and metro cadres. It was right after he and others left the Selma march and Martin Luther King...to drive to the West Side of Chicago.

What was this stance or attitude stuff about?
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">
One sense of having a stance or attitude was you were actually "being in the game" of your own free will, not being "in the stands" spectating, opining, booing and cheering the play in someone Else's game.

On a more personal note, now being in the game, being in Phase 4 and being not far from the end of my own game is different now.
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">
When I play, more often it is something like hide and seek with my young grand-daughter,
<span class="" id=":2e3.18">Indi</span>, she always wants to be in the play of the game. She is not interested in watching and spectating.
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">
<span class="" id=":2e3.19">Indi</span> doesn't even want to keep score...she just wants a chance to play full-out and whole hearted. She is clever at finding! She knows how to help people find a place in the game...says, you go hide Grandpa, so I do!
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">

<div class="gmail_extra">
I'm the one learning to be in this game, she is the teacher, she keeps the play of the game. It is serious fun and new and altogether.
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">
Once in a while I bounce her on my knee and tell her stories of people hiding, then seeking then finding their way from my world. And I show her her
<span class="" id=":2e3.20">iPad</span> like this one of a friend of teachers and children learning new things:
