This paper examines a guideline for deliberation within the framework
of a teachers' workshop for school-based adaptation of curriculum. Thi
s framework allows teachers to participate in the curriculum developme
nt process. The underlying assumption is that the appropriate way to c
onduct workshop deliberation is to relate the teachers' thinking to th
e curriculum process. The 'dilemma' is suggested as expressive of the
state of teachers' thinking. A case study of a teachers' workshop is r
eported and excerpts of the teachers' deliberations are analyzed.
