Course Description
Creative Problem Solving (CPS) is a framework which
individuals or groups can use to formulate problems, opportunities, or
challenges; generate and analyze many, varied and novel options; and plan
for effective implementation of new solutions or courses of action. This CPS
framework builds on over four decades of theory, research, and application
in a variety of contexts. CPS offers a powerful set of tools for productive
thinking and can be learned and used successfully by children, adolescents
and adults. It is currently used world-wide in business, industry and
education. Included with this course, students will learn about their
individual preference for problem solving.
