Analysis/Solution Mindset is an essential skill for problem-solving in today’s workplaces and communities. This module helps students develop critical thinking strategies to view challenges through multiple perspectives, identify patterns, gather relevant information, and test solutions that address both immediate and long-term needs. By integrating the SBCSS Employability Skills into the classroom, educators can empower students to approach problems with curiosity, empathy, and resilience. 

Aligned to California’s Career Ready Practices, this content supports students in building transferable skills through interactive presentations, real-world scenarios, and career-connected activities. Students will explore how an analysis/solution mindset prepares them for the workforce, document their learning in a career portfolio, and practice sharing their problem-solving experiences to prepare for future job interviews and professional opportunities. 

This page includes a teacher guide, student resources, and all necessary links to help implement the Analysis/Solution Mindset module, equipping students with the skills to solve problems creatively and collaboratively in school, work, and life. 

The teacher guide, presentations, and worksheets have been adapted from Oregon Employability Skills and tailored to meet the needs of our region.
