Problem finding is the creative ability to define or identify a problem. The process involves consideration of alternative views or definitions of a problem that are generated and selected for further consideration. Problem finding requires individuals to set objectives, define purposes, decide what is interesting, and ultimately decide what they want to study.

Maggie reads to the class
Today I had the opportunity to visit my daughter’s school for her Kindergarten Author’s Tea. I LOVE when teachers give their students the opportunity to present their work in an authentic setting. It doesn’t matter what grade, K-12 – giving students the opportunity to share their work with the community increases the value and quality for the child. I’ve included a few pictures and embedded a video of her reading the story. Be sure to leave a comment for Maggie below!
