Guidelines for Critiquing Each Other's Project Plans

Please offer constructive feedback that is kind, specific, and helpful.
Include suggestions for additional resources or technology tools if possible.
Frame your feedback using sentence stems such as, “I notice . . .” (non-judgmental observations), “I like . . .” (compliments), “I wonder . . .” (questions), and “I have . . .” (suggestions).

Explorer

1. Begin sketching out your project.

Consider how you will introduce the idea of social innovation and the Sustainable Development Goals. You may want to revisit the Learn More: Sustainable Development Goals resources for inspiration.
Identify the aspects of the project where students will have voice and choice. For example, will they get to choose the social issue they want to work on as a class or in small groups? You may want to give them a limited menu of options that align with your curriculum.
Consider how you will apply the principles of systems thinking, inquiry, and pedagogical documentation.
Take advantage of the additional resources for the methodology you're using:

2. Develop an initial project plan. (Don't worry, it's just a rough outline or sketch at this point!)

3. Post your project plan in the discussion forum. You can link to a document in Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. if you'd like.

Please read and respond to at least 1 of your colleagues’ project plans.
