A Solon Salute to Dominique Savard for finishing up her Extended Learning Opportunity reflection from last spring semester. Dominique took the time to organize the evidence that was necessary for her to demonstrate her proficiency abilities and understandings of the Reflection indicator in the Problem Solving LE. Here is a link to her slide show. Extended Learning Opportunities are fantastic ways for students to have voice and choice in the types of activities that they want to use to demonstrate their abilities in our school Learning Expectation graduation requirements. Great job Dominique.
