6. Taking it Home: Action Plan
Think about what you learned over the past 2 days. What are 2-3 big ideas that you want to share with your district or school?
What do you have in place that would enable you to build awareness around these ideas? Who are your supporters? Who are nay-sayers? What is your message?
What support systems do you need to build awareness? How will you get them?
What assistance do you need from your local providers (e.g., county offices, CSP, K-12 Alliance, CSTA) to help you in the awareness phase?
