  7. Great project that should have lasting results for these students. I like that you included a step to modify the delivery of curriculum. We all know "stuff happens" and things don't follow our timelines exactly! Good luck on your project!

  8. Great job Kelly!!! It really looks like you have thought of every step along the way! I love that before anything, you begin by training. This will promote comfort for your trainers as well as teacher buy-in. Also, I think it's great that you have included a step for making modifications and changes if the need arises. Flexibility is a great attribute for an educator to have!! Good luck to you. I look forward to learning more about your research!!!
