Problem Solving
D= Define the Problem E= Examine Alternatives C= Consider how choices relate to goals I= Identify acceptable choices D= Decide on one choice E= Evaluate Results
D: Not enough students are participating in school athletics.
E. We could cut the programs, bus our kids to other schools, bus kids to our school, encourage kids to go out for sports, or downsize our sports (6 man football-esque).
C. Our goal is to keep our sports programs alive so our choices should reflect that. Cutting the programs is a last resort. Bussing our kids to a new school is not desireable. Bussing kids to our school is a good idea but unlikely. Encouraging kids to participate hasn't worked yet. Downsizing our progams is our best option.
I. Our only acceptable choice is to downsize our programs.
D. Downsizing our teams is my decision.
E. I think that in this circumstance my decision is the best.
