Possibility thinking protocol

Coming up with creative solutions through collaborative thinking can be exciting and build connections among a group. In the Possibility Thinking Protocol, participants explore a problem through asking “What if…?” questions and engaging in a series of creative transformations of both problems and solutions. This protocol is adapted from Beghetto, R. A. (2018). Taking Beautiful Risks in Education, Educational Leadership, 76 (4), 18 – 24).
