Decision-Making: A Necessary and Neglected Skill for 21st Century LearningDescription: The world is filled with problems to be solved and decisions to be made. The curriculum, typically, is not. Too often schools present the world as a mass of facts and concepts to be remembered rather than as an arena in which to apply what's being learned. Thanks to the internet, schools now have access to current dilemmas and choices facing humanity in every discipline. How can you create a more active learning environment by finding opportunities for students to practice decision making in math, social studies, even English? Some decision-making techniques scaled down from the corporate world will be presented as ways to engage your learners more deeply.
