Written scenario · Problem solving, Equity
Thirty cots
You are a volunteer at a community center that has opened as an emergency warming center during an ice storm.
The power has been out across the city for two days. Sixty people have arrived, but the center has only thirty cots and enough blankets for about forty. More supplies may not arrive until tomorrow afternoon. The staff member in charge asks you to help decide how to handle the night.
The two questions
- 1What would you consider in deciding how to use the cots and blankets?
- 2How should limited resources be shared when there is not enough for everyone?
What raters look for
- Problem solving
- Gathers facts before acting, considers options and consequences, and chooses a workable next step.
- Equity
- Notices unequal access or treatment and acts fairly, especially for people with less power.
