Community Engagement for SJ
Leadership in Collaboration: I can lead others in collaboration in a positive way. I can help the group to define roles, manage timelines, and enhance the group in a positive way. I am a student leader who is a liaison between group members and helps keep the project on track.
Critical Thinking & Analysis
Agile Thinking: I can adapt problem solving methods to new challenges, adjusting strategies as new ideas and/or information arise, demonstrating a shift of my own thinking or the thinking of others on an issue, built on a body of new findings and evidence.
