Decision Making

Decision making is a skill that is at once highly personal and deeply analytical , academic and integral to everyday life , easy to take life for granted and critical to individual success . We are all forced to make decisions everyday , from the little decisions in the grocery stores aisle to the far reaching decisions that affect our lives , our careers , and our families .

The decisions making strategy hones this critical thinking skill by providing students with a unique opportunity to become personally involved in what they are studying through questions .

• Who was the most influential president of the United States ?
• If you were in the position of Tim From My Brother Sam is Dead , whose side would you take in the argument between Sam and Father ?
• Based on statistics , which player would you want to shoot a free throw with the game on the line ?
