CPS for Teens: Classroom Activities for Teaching Creative Problem Solving - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book offers teachers plenty of ready-to-use activities for introducing teens to Creative Problem Solving. Designed by a classroom teacher, the exercises in this book have been field-tested with students in grades 6-12. Each activity provides an opportunity to broaden your students' understanding of the problem-solving process and, in turn, expand their future options as they apply the process to real-world issues.

Creative Problem Solving is a process that allows people to apply both creative and critical thinking to find solutions to everyday problems. CPS can eliminate the tendency to approach problems in a haphazard manner and, consequently, prevents surprises and/or disappointment with the solution.

The authors designed these activities specifically to be relevant for adolescents. Activities focus on issues such as gaining more independence, dealing with conflict, and evaluating interests and talents. The exercises encourage both creative and critical thinking. The book provides a set of suggestions for teachers and then presents 31 reproducible classroom activities, each of which can be completed in 30-40 minutes.
