HS.95 Identifying Needs and Aligning With a Vision
This LifeKnowledge lesson (HS.95) teaches students a three-step process for problem solving in groups: identifying the problem, determining whether the problem is appropriate for the group to solve, and determining whether it is feasible to solve. Through logic puzzles, scenarios, and group activities, students practice recognizing needs and aligning them with a group’s vision and mission.
