GETTING  STARTED

 

Planning your Project

 

Making your project reality can be fun and exciting, following the guidelines below can help you to achieve it. Consultation with teachers who have successfully conceived and brought to fruition their own projects has led us to advise you to check that you take into account the following points, thereby doing the best you can to ensure that your project is successfully completed and is used to the full.

 

We have compiled a checklist which you can print and work through.

  

Creating Enthusiasm for Your Project

 

Improving your schools grounds will lead to many benefits.  See our ways to create enthusiasm checklist.

 

Onward and Upward

 

Once you have everyone’s support you can start to action plan how you are going to get all that you want to achieve done. For each step towards your goal ask:-

 

WHAT are we trying to achieve?

HOW are we going to achieve it?

WHO is going to achieve it?

WHEN are we going to achieve it?

 

Having ensured your projects sustainability by having it included in your schools long term planning and ‘selling’ its merits to other members of staff, now is the time to consider it’s maintenance and upkeep. 

 

List the yearly maintenance tasks and ask the same questions as above. 

 

Many projects flounder on these rocky issues, so don’t treat them lightly!

 

If you have managed to make INSET a part of your plan, use some of this time to brainstorm your colleagues on various issues from ‘how will the whole school use it?’ to ‘how do we make it sustainable?'
