Making decisions about things like what to do after high school can be a challenge. So many factors are involved. The decision-making worksheet in this resource helps to simplify the process by asking individuals to fill in a matrix for each decision, list the variables involved for that choice, to weight the importance of each variable, and then to consider what the score for each option reveals.
