101.4, CODE, Lewis, Georgia's Thinking Skills: Decision Making

The Decision Making Strategy is an instructional strategy that promotes  thinking.  The strategy can be viewed as a framework that can be varied based on the content, outcomes to be measured, operations to be performed, and the needs of the students.  This is part of a series of guides for Georgia's Critical Thinking Skills program that was developed in 1994.  This strategy is appropriate for all grade levels and all content areas.  This strategy is content focused.  The phases include making a decision, communicating that decision to others, and synthesizing the content and the decisions.  The student may be the decision maker or the evaluator of a decision.

The materials consist of a VoiceThread, handouts, and sample and model lessons.
