Slide Deck

Welcome to Decisions in Action

Steps in the Decision-Making Process

Explain the steps in the decision-making process. Use simple language and ask the students to repeat each step after you.

Real-Life Decision Scenarios

Present one or two real-life scenarios where decision-making is crucial. Engage students by asking what they might do in these situations.

Recap & Reflect

Recap the key points. Ask questions such as 'What step is most important to you?' or 'Can someone share a decision they made recently and what they learned?'
