Making a Decision
The
 Making
a Decision tips help students identify situations
requiring a decision, examine previous related decisions, evaluate
information and possible alternatives, consider motivations for
these alternatives, and make an informed decision based on their
experiences with the content.
Summary:
Students can get bogged down with choices and need help
sorting out criteria for making informed decisions. These Tip Sheets
help students visualize their thinking and learning as they progress
through the decision-making process. Whether students will be using
a checklist or a matrix, the steps for making an informed decision
are outlined in basic steps and questions. The Tip Sheets then map
students’ thinking patterns to help them "see" their
thinking and work through the steps of putting their thoughts together
and making choices based on specific criteria. The graphic organizer
helps students record and organize thoughts as they make decisions
by identifying situations requiring a decision, examining previous
related decisions, evaluating information and possible alternatives,
considering motivations for these alternatives, and making an informed
decision based on their experiences with the content.
