Problem Solving Phase

• 0: Somewhat troubled but unable to verbalize

• 1: Can verbalize what is troubling you but cannot come up with a solution

• 2: Comes up with a solution but does not try (lack of time or confidence)

• 3: Try and fail and lose heart … and I thought about the ladder halfway through.

• 4: Tried and failed and “something doesn’t work” = 0

• 5: I can verbalize why it doesn’t work but can’t come up with a solution = 1

• 6: I can come up with a solution, but… and enter the second cycle.
