Examples of objectives covered:
3rd and 4th grade
-
Use problem solving and critical thinking skills to resolve personal problems
-
Determine whether a solution would be easier to implement if it were broken into steps
-
Estimate the amount of time solutions to various scenarios will take to implement
-
Explain how a solution might work in the short term, but not in the long run (and vice versa)
-
Outline steps to implement a solution to a problem
...and more
5th and 6th grade
-
Use problem solving and critical thinking skills to manage conflict
-
Analyze implementation challenges before arriving at a solution
-
Break solutions to complex problems into discrete steps
-
Develop a solution to a classroom- or school-level problem and develop a plan to implement the solution
-
Identify modern innovations and the problems they are trying to solve
...and more
7th and 8th grade
-
Break solutions to complex problems into discrete steps
-
Determine the resources needed to implement a real-world solution
-
Assess whether unequal implementation may lead to inequity or solve the problem for just a subset of people
-
Develop a solution to a school-level or local problem and develop a plan to implement the solution
-
Identify modern innovations and the problems they are trying to solve
...and more
9th and 10th grade
-
Describe how the ability to implement a solution should be a consideration in selecting the solution
-
Determine the resources needed to implement a real-world solution
-
Identify key concepts of project management and outline an implementation plan using those concepts
-
Develop a solution to a local or national-level problem and develop a plan to implement the solution
-
Explain why some problems are "enduring" and why they are difficult to solve; develop a solution to one of those problems and create a plan to implement that solution
...and more
