I have ideas, but I’m not ready to share them or work with others to make them happen. I am starting to share some of my ideas and work with others to create something new.

When I face a challenge, I look for what others did to solve it.

If a solution looks like a good one, I will copy it instead of thinking of new ideas.

 When facing a challenge, I look for different solutions that others have tried. 

With some help, I think about how I can change their ideas to reach my goals.

I am beginning to use different strategies that help me work or think in new ways.

 When facing a challenge, I can create new solutions or ideas. 

I can organize my thoughts to come up with new ideas and possibilities.

I know and can use different strategies like “What if?” thinking to create my own ideas. 

 When I face a challenge, I think about why past solutions worked and how I can make them better for today or the future.

I look for, and think about, other people’s ideas and points of view to create new possibilities. 

I enjoy taking risks to respond to issues and to help make things better.

 When I face a challenge, I come up with big ideas and know how to make a plan and use the right tools to make it happen. 

I see problems as opportunities to create solutions or responses by thinking about different points of view.

I think creatively, and my solutions make a real difference in people’s lives.
