Scene to read · Problem solving, Self-awareness
Six sessions left
You are the coordinator of a community printmaking club, allocating the remaining letterpress training sessions.
In the workshop, you meet apprentices Gaspard, 60, and Geraldo, 30; Teodor, absent today, moves away in six weeks; only he operates the press safely. He offers six weekly hands-on sessions but dislikes manuals. Gaspard has printing experience but can attend only two sessions; Geraldo can attend all six but needs more practice with safety checks. Preparing and checking a usable record would take part of their limited training time.
The scene
Gaspard: I'd use my two sessions for advanced troubleshooting, then document those steps.
Geraldo: I'll be here every week, but I still need supervised basic practice.
Gaspard: Without troubleshooting notes, you could learn the basics and still get stuck.
Geraldo: That's true, but who'll run it if I'm not ready when he leaves?
The two questions
- 1How would you allocate the remaining sessions, and determine whether the club can use the press after Teodor leaves?
- 2Tell us about a time you revised your initial judgment about someone's readiness for a responsibility. How did you test your assumptions?
What raters look for
- Problem solving
- Gathers facts before acting, considers options and consequences, and chooses a workable next step.
- Self-awareness
- Recognizes own biases, limits and emotions, and seeks and uses feedback.
