Decision-Making Model


Hello Grade Fives,

On Friday, Cst. Visser came to begin our D.A.R.E. program. Today, I would like you to practice the Decision-Making Model. First, a brief review:

D- Define: describe the problem, challenge or opportunity that you are dealing with

A-Assess: assess the different choices; what are they? (good and not so good)

R-Respond: make a choice, using the facts and information you have gathered

E-Evaluate: review your decision, did you make a good decision?

Now, using a four line frame (not a complete paragraph), choose a recent problem, challenge or opportunity you have had to deal with (you could also choose a current problem).

As usual, I look forward to reading your thoughts!
Love, Mrs. French

Quick Reminders:
