Abstract
Myrna Shure made extraordinary contributions to research and practice during a career that lasted for 55 years, concluding with her passing on January 3, 2023. With George Spivack, Myrna Shure created the acclaimed and research-validated Interpersonal Cognitive Problem Solving SEL curriculum. Keeping the ICPS acronym, the program name was changed to I Can Problem Solve and expanded to include a component for parents, Raising A Thinking Child. Focusing on teaching children how to think, not what to think, ICPS begins in Preschool and continues through the elementary school years. It is a CASEL SELect program and one of the most widely used and well respected SEL programs nationally and internationally. This article reviews Myrna Shure’s contributions and legacy and concludes with two anecdotes from cherished colleagues.
