Problem Solver
What Does It Mean?
Scholars who are methodical in their approach to overcoming obstacles and who reflect on what they learn from the experience to apply it to new situations.
The Essence
In an increasingly complex world, the ability to solve problems is not just a skill but a necessity. The Problem Solver disposition is not exclusive to STEM subjects but it is deeply integrated across all fields, from Literature to History and the Arts. Teaching students to be proficient problem solvers is to equip them for life beyond the the classroom.
