What is CaseNEX?

 

A fundamental part of the CaseNEX approach is our unique 5-step method, a matrix for approaching complex situations, understanding cause and effect relationships, and exploring multiple solutions to challenging problems. GEAR UP facilitators are trained to use the five-step method to help students gain the insight and analytical skills to effectively address their own challenges.

NOTE: This case is part of a series. Prior to viewing this case, students would have "met" these characters and become familiar with who they are and the issues they face.
