Reflection – From a Student We learned that there are often many
solutions to a given problem. In problem solving you must consider what the best option is given the scenario. Then consider the possible outcomes based on the decision that was made. There may be a few drawbacks to any decision, but you must make the choice based on which option does the most good with the least harm.

not a single “intervention.” It is a commitment to incorporating modeling and teaching critical thinking wherever the opportunities present themselves.
