Problem Solving involves Perspective
Taking
STEP Model1. Say the problem2. Think of solutions3. Explore consequences4. Pick the best solution
Say the Problem (without blame)
Is it:- She burned
the food.OR- The food is on
fire.
Say the Problem (without blame)
Is it:- He took my bowling
ball.OR- The boys both want
the green bowling ball.
Say the Problem (without blame)
In basketball, this is called a Jump Ball
- It is when bother teams grab the ball
- They alternate who gets the ball which is a fair solution to the problem
Say the Problem (without blame)
Sam sits near Jeanie at lunch. He likes Jeanie. He texts her one weekend to ask if she wants to go to Starbucks. He texts her again a day later when she does not reply.
Sam’s Perspective on the Problem:She won’t answer my texts

What would Sheldon say is the problem?
• What would Leonard say is the problem?
**different perspectives**
Think of Solutions (that are safe and respectful)
Should she leave the pan on fire and walk away?
Should she put the pan in the sink?
Should she get a fire extinguisher?
Think of Solutions (that are safe and respectful)

What solutions do the guys offer?- Getting Slurpee’s instead of Icee’s- Offer different times to see the movie
Why do none of these solutions work?
- Sheldon isn’t being flexible
Explore Consequences (what would happen if….)
She left the pan on fire and walk away?
She put the pan in the sink?
She got a fire extinguisher?
Pick the best solution (make a plan)
1. She should turn off the stove
2. Put the pan down3. Grab the fire

Review- STEP Model1. Say the problem2. Think of solutions3. Explore consequences4. Pick the best solution
** We are constantly doing this throughout our day as we encounter problems (big or small)
Small problem: I brought chicken and rice to warm up for lunch today but there are no
eating utensils in my lunch bag. 1. Say the Problem- I forgot my fork. I don’t have a fork to eat my lunch
4. Pick the best solution
2. Think of solutions 3. Explore consequences
I could eat with my hands My fingers would get messy and I’d look like an animal
I could go get a fork from the cafeteria
I’d have to walk down there but then I’d get to eat
I could not eat my lunch until I get home
I’ll get hungry and probably cranky
Big Problem: I broke my leg over the weekend and now a large cast up my leg.
My mom says I have to go to school tomorrow.
1. Say the problem

Let’s watch a show…And see how the characters use the STEP Model

- Watch Sheldon and Amy determine possible solutions and explore consequences
2. Think of solutions 3. Explore consequences
Getting both Needing a new entertainment system- more money
Flip a coin Didn’t like the answer from flipping
Pick one See how it works, could return
Sometimes the best solution means giving something up you want to do or doing something
you don’t really want to do
Situation: ELA teacher wants you to write 3 sentences about what you have just read but you say you are too tired to write.
Say the problem

2. Think of solutions 3. Explore consequences
Type it out Boring, but wouldn’t have to write
Ask for a scribe Get the work done
Write 1 to 2 Do the rest for homework or study block
Just get over it and do it It will be done quickly
