Week 1
By classtime |
- View "Captured Wisdom" CD to see the kind of projects
that are possible.

Activity. This gives an idea of what the early stages of project
development usually look like.
- Email your facilitator with a quick response to these.

Week 2
By classtime |
- Complete Proposal Revision Activities
1 through 3. These will help you practice noticing and improving
the engaged learning components of your project by identifying
them in someone else's. Email your answers to part 3 to your
facilitators.

Week 3
By classtime |
- Bring at least three project ideas to class. These need not
be complete proposals, but simply topics within your own curriculum
that you have "always wanted to do better". YOU WILL
NOT BE CREATING NEW WORK ! You will simply find a new way to
do something you have always done anyway.

Week 4
By classtime |
- Write the first draft of your proposal in Microsoft Word.
Use the format found in the proposal writing activites.
We will discuss and revise these in class this week. PLEASE REMEMBER
THAT PROPOSAL WRITING IS A PROCESS. Several revisions are the
norm, not a problem.

week, come to class with questions and be active in assisting
others to make their project better.

kids!
