Guidelines for CmPS ProjectsPROJECT OVERVIEW (Description of the problem solving process)A. AREA OF CONCERNCompletely describe the situation addressed by the project. Includeinformation from research about the situation, describe the communityinvolved (whether it is school, local, state, national, or global), explainthe significance of the situation, and tell why it is important to thestudents and the community. When reporting on a multi-year project,the report should include the work from all years of the project.The first part of the report illustrates the students’ use of the problem solving process in creating the Plan ofAction. As with Global Issues Problem Solving, Community Problem Solving uses a six-step problemsolving process but with adaptations and adjustments suited to the active nature of solving present-day realworldproblems. Some projects will begin with a broad Area of Concern and work through the steps in order. Some projects will begin with a clearly defined problem. Some work may need to be done to exploreall aspects of the problem and to determine if a broader scope is needed. Some projects will have a solution idea already in mind (for example, a recycling program). Studentsmay need to do some research to determine if there is a significant Area of Concern and whether thesolution idea addresses a clear Underlying Problem. Some projects will be continuing work that was begun in previous years (multi-year or evolvingprojects) and is currently in any stage of the process. In some projects, students may encounter obstacles in their work that require them to go back to aprevious problem solving step in order to then move forward.All of these projects can be competitive in CmPS; all of these projects will benefit from use of all steps ofthe problem solving process. Students should experience use of all the steps of the process, in any order.The written report should describe all the steps of the process.In this section, students should describe the problem solving processthey used – challenges and solutions may be considered at differentstages of the project. No matter where projects begin, they have anArea of Concern (whether broad and ill-defined or as clear-cut as aparticular solution idea). The challenges identified by the studentsmay range in scope from general issues within the Area of Concern tospecific problems they’ll face while implementing a plan. All projectsneed a well-focused and clearly stated Underlying Problem uponwhich to base the solution ideas and Plan of Action.
