Teaching Decision Making Skills Using the New Jersey Bear Hunt

All the students in the class learn decision making skills from the DEF model. I have students read different articles that help develop an argument from their perspective. Students think about framing the question, reflect on their values, and collect useful information. Lower School students from the fourth and fifth grade are invited to our town meeting. The younger students ask questions and then vote on whether or not to hold the New Jersey Bear Hunt.



Below is a video of my class researching and doing the bear hunt role play
