Implementing a Successful Project - continued
Step 2: Planning for a Successful Project
When you completed your Project Plan's Classroom Management Procedures section (Section C), you provided details on what will happen in your classroom during the project. You also may have considered what you would need to prepare to make sure all activities run smoothly. For example, you might have thought about what kinds of equipment your learners would need to complete the project, what mentors or experts you might need to invite, or how you would group learners during different activities. During this step, you consider what you need to prepare and accomplish before, during, and after your project to ensure its success.
 Note: This planning area is available in Module 7, Activity 2, Step 2: Planning for a Successful Project in your Notebook.
 Think about how you could address the following topics to ensure a successful project in your classroom. Exchange your ideas in small groups.
- Communicating about the project
- Project introduction
- Expectations, key tasks, and responsibilities
- Celebration and wrap-up
- Timing and transitions
- School schedule
- Learner attendance
- Collaboration
- Group size
- Types of groups
- Managing and monitoring groups
- Materials/Equipment/ICT/Outside Resources/Facilities
- File management
- Field trips
- Guests
- Extra Help (mentors, learner aides, resource staff, and library/media)
- Grading
- 21st Century skills
- Self-direction
- Group work
- Review your notes from the discussion and list some ideas for making your project run smoothly.
Step 3: Creating a Management Resource
During this step, you create a management document to support implementation of your project.
- View sample management resources. Take notes on any documents you might adapt for use in your classroom, but do ot plagiarise.
- Create a management document for your portfolio.
 Save the document in the facilitation folder in your Portfolio folder.
