SOLVED: Parent & Teacher Companion

Coach the method. Sponsor the project. Teach the tools.

This companion is written for the adult holding SOLVED — parent, teacher, homeschool educator, coach, or counselor. It is not a summary of the book; the book does its own talking.

This guide does four things:

• Explains what professional frameworks the SOLVED tools are drawn from — 8D, DMAIC, PDCA, Lean, and SMART Goals — so adults with any background can see exactly what their child is learning.
• Maps each chapter to the dominant problem-solving systems in global industry.
• Teaches you the core tools directly — annotated charts, a completed fishbone diagram, and enough working knowledge to coach your student through each one.
• Lays out a Microsoft Office integration path that converts each SOLVED worksheet into a digital deliverable, building software fluency for high school, college, and every workplace after.

You do not need an engineering background. Every term is defined when it first appears. By the end, you will not just be the sponsor of your student's project — you will be a second teacher of the method.

For parents, teachers, and coaches of problem-solvers ages 10 to 14.
