  2. Mission and Vision Mission: Dorchester School District Two leading the way, every student, every day, through relationships, rigor, and relevance. Vision: Dorchester School District Two desires to be recognized as a “World Class” school district, expecting each student to achieve at his/her optimum level in all areas, and providing all members of our district family with an environment that permits them to do their personal best.

  3. Presentation Objectives: • Participants will learn how to plan and teach CPS through multi-grade or grade level teaming. • Procedures on team building and working to solve problems, ideas, and sample activities will be shared. • At the end of the session, participants will be able to implement the ideas into a workable plan for their classrooms.

  4. What is cps? Creative Problem Solving- intentional activities designed to promote team work in order to solve a variety of problems including service learning, construction/design, team building and presenting.

  5. Why cps? • Create opportunities to work together weekly • Teach students how to solve problems successfully • Provide time to reflect • Promote life long skills • Provide a planning team of educators • Provide a huge impact on classroom success

  6. WHEN DO YOU FIT CPS IN? • Once a week for 30 to 45 minutes (half from class, half from computer lab) • Lesson skills learned during this time improve classroom team activities and problem solving

  7. HOW? • Students are grouped across or within grade levels in tribes/groups of 4-5 members • They are members for the duration of the year • Time must be spent teaching and modeling: • Listen to all ideas before you speak • Trial and error are important • Reflection and revision are part of learning

  8. WHERE? Two or three teachers who are willing to team with you and work out a time to have students meet. You are essentially an educator tribe! Each of you will supervise, plan and conduct the CPS groups in your classroom space. Some activities will require more space or need to be conducted outdoors.
