Synopsis

Creative Problem Solving is a process that allows people to apply both creative and critical thinking to find solutions to everyday problems. CPS can eliminate the tendency to approach problems in a haphazard manner and, consequently, prevents surprises and/or disappointment with the solution.

The Creative Problem Solver’s Guidebook contains 25 reproducible forms to guide individuals and groups when applying CPS. Use these graphic organizers as templates to guide individual students, teams, or groups in applying CPS.

The templates are also useful to help you organize flip charts or CPS session notes, to reproduce as overheads or handouts to accompany CPS instruction, or for creating booklets to guide group participants through CPS. Each form is clearly labeled to guide the user in the CPS stages. Facilitator’s notes accompany each template.
