Real World Problem Scenario
Real World Problem Scenario (RWPS) connects educators with businesses that work in fields/industries that reflect the curriculum the educators are teaching in the classroom. The impact is in the process. "Problem Based Learning" is incorporated through a collaborative process to develop real world solutions for the business partner.
The business partner works with the educator to develop a scenario around a real world problem the business is dealing with or has dealt with.
The Real World Problem Scenario is then presented to the students. The students spend time in the classroom brainstorming and developing solutions with guidance from the educator. The business partner then comes back into the classroom so that the students can present their solution(s).
