ABOUT

Community Problem Solving is a program that teaches you the six-step problem solving process - 1. Identifying Challenges, 2. Developing an Underlying Problem, 3. Generating Solutions, 4. Developing Criteria, 5. Applying Criteria through Advantages, Limitations to Overcome and Unique Opportunities, and 6. Creating a Plan of Action.

One of the ways we use this six-step process is through our Community Problem Solving (CmPS) project - “Don’t Juul - It’s Not Cuul!”. The main goal of our team through our project is to impress upon teenagers the harsh realities of vaping in order to reduce the number of teenagers that are vaping in Minnesota.

Future Problem Solving Program celebrates Dr. Torrance’s life and accomplishments every day as students around the world participate in the activities he and his beloved wife Pansy introduced. His presence is missed, but his spirit and love lives on in the hearts of thousands.

The name of E. Paul Torrance will forever be synonymous with creativity research. But for those of us who have been privileged to know him personally, his name is also synonymous with the concern, humility, and generosity which are the marks of a truly great man. It’s no wonder that he is so well loved! Aurora Roldan Manila, Philippines 1992 As quoted in E. Paul Torrance “The Creativity Man”.
