Two well-known models for shared decision making in an educational setting are zone of acceptance(Edwin Bridges) and decision rules(Vroom and Yetton's). These two models has some limitations in applying them in Korean schools because the former excludes teachers who belong to the type Ⅳ situation and the latter is too much sophisticated, So we urgently need to develope a new conceptual framework of a shared decision making for Korean elementary and secondary schools, There are some variations between Korea. and the United States in school climate and culture. So the two models might be workable in an American educational setting but not in Korean educational contexts.
A new conceptual framework for a shared decision making in an educational setting in Korea. follows as figure 1. First, administrator must inform teachers what kinds of sub committees are and make them choose a committee they would like to work depending on their expertise and preference. Second, administrator must make committees and coordinate the arrangement of teachers to the committees. Third, depending on topic, allooate agenda and let them discuss and finally make a selection. Fourth, the sub committee report their decision to the faculty meeting. Firth, executive meeting may modify and supplement the decision, and make a final decision. Sixth, administrator makes an effort to focus on problem-solving, coordinate, integrate, build consensus and lower resistance, consulting all opinions of parents, students and community people.
