1. Review Projects Specs and Exemplars for Action Learning Projects
Tools: Directions:

Begin to finalize your plans for your inquiry question for your Action Learning Project. Study the Project Specs and view Exemplars to familiarize yourself thoroughly with the requirements and to see that there is a great deal of autonomy in your project design, implementation, evaluation, and multimedia report. Post your inquiry question to the Action Learning Project Matrix. I have left the work of the Summer School session for inspiration. Please do review the questions of others in our class so you can share resources that you may find in your research.
