Abstract
This chapter represents my work with educators as a part of my consulting in the Sakha Republic of Yakutia in 2005. A professional debate about educational philosophy and values is among the most difficult discussions because deep down it is not purely an intellectual but rather an ontological debate involving the hidden concerns and aspirations of practicing educators. In this chapter, I document and reflect on my professional dialogue with a particular educator whose educational philosophy has been radically different from mine. My analysis suggests that a genuine dialogue about conflicting educational values is possible when educators delve deeply into their ontological roots. This dialogue can open a new eventful space of contact, in which educational values can be dialogically reconsidered.
