IHLA PORTFOLIO PROJECT - UPDATE

The IHLA schools who attended the Portfolio Project have completed a very fruitful session. We have invited them all to participate in the special Portfolio Wiki Page. We hope these schools are completing their tasks. Stay tuned for access to more documents and the date to meet again for this special project - this project is now open only to schools who have attended the first session. We are happy to be working with Carlos Soler Montes of the Aula Cervantes in Calgary.

Students interested in this special program still have time until August 15, 2011 to register online. We will set a preliminary meeting at the end of the summer to get things going.
