In this lesson, students learn to identify and describe different ways of making decisions within a team, focusing on a structured six-step process represented by the acronym DECIDE: Define your goal, Establish your criteria, Choose good options, Identify the pros and cons, Decide the most logical option, and Evaluate the results. The lesson emphasizes the importance of making well-informed decisions, especially when dealing with limited resources, by considering needs over wants. A practical example involving Joey selecting a birthday gift for a child illustrates the application of the decision-making grid to compare options based on chosen criteria.
