Why Teach Problem-Solving?
We want our students to grow up with a different perspective about conflict – a perspective that looks at conflict as an opportunity to grow, learn and create. Learning problem-solving skills prepares kids for the future. Life is moving at such speed that we need people who can think fresh, who aren t tied to positions, and who aren t afraid to be wrong in search of being right. Problem solving is a lifelong skill that is useful. Businesses crave employees who can solve problems, and they re looking not just for average problem solving, but for critical thinking, conflict-resolution, brainstorming, and breakthrough thinking that goes beyond old ways of doing things.
