Dealing with Dilemmas: Coaching Students in Decision Making

By Mark D. Meyers and J. Doyle Casteel. Thirty reproducible story dilemmas challenge students to develop and practice decision-making strategies. Dealing with issues such as conflict, cooperation, and competition, students react to the dilemmas both on an individual basis and in small groups aiming for consensus. Five kinds of dilemmas (standard, forced-choice, affirmative, rank-order, and classification) are accompanied by tips for integrating the material into other subject areas such as English, history, and science. Includes directions for creating personalized structured dilemmas. Grades 4–8. Illustrated. 8½" x 11". Good Year Books. 141 pages. ©1999. GDY404.
