responsibilities will be shared, so the load is lighter for each teacher
involved.

template a second time with a group project.
Instructor and facilitator can move among groups to monitor progress and
answer questions.

17. Advance to slide 15: Discuss where we go with the
program from here. Do we want to use a
thematic approach to our projects ?
(Hunger, Elder Care, Medical Needs, Building in Communities), do we want to
think about long-term projects in the future?
Perhaps 3 year scope/cyclical type projects? Get input from staff for direction of program
from here.
18. Distribute Handout 3 (calendar for scheduling projects,
and additional templates for planning projects): This will be revisited in August meetings so
we can plan and schedule projects after thinking about what we would like to do
over the summer. Each teacher should
think about one individual project, and collaborate with grade level team to
create a group project.
