Decision-Making Scenarios
UNIT: Making Decisions
TASK: Explain need to study decision-making processes.
ACTIVITY TYPE: SCANS, Integration
APPROXIMATE TIME: One class period
MATERIALS: Decision-making scenarios, paper and pencil
PROCEDURE:
1. Some decisions are harder than others to make. That’s why using a process to make decisions is important. The ability to use a process to make good decisions will help students gain confidence in their own ability to do what’s right.
2. Discuss the steps of the decision-making process with your students.
3. On the following pages are several decisions that deal with workplace ethics. After you feel that your students have a good understanding of the decision-making process, have them read and answer the questions about the different scenarios.
4. Discuss the students’ answers. Ask how they identified the need in each situation. What were the resources they thought were available? What were some of the choices? When they compared the choices, what did they find?
ENRICHMENT: Have students write their own scenarios. Keep them confidential, just in case some of the situations are real (and there will likely be some real ones). Allow other students to suggest a plan that might resolve the situation.
