Chapter 7 What works?

Create a Time Line (this is made with the realistic knowledge that I am Fantastic at biting off more than I can chew, so I am aiming for do-able goals here)

August-September(2012)-Begin journaling all encounters with K, teaching, in passing etc, as well as any ideas, suggestions and meetings that might pertain to K.
Formulate ideal goals for K to propose to team.
Seek permission for an potentially shared research information.
Meet with VI team and set realistic goals for K's art experience for 2012.
Internet researches for VI resources.

October-November- Film times and lessons with K. Making observations and analysis on that time.
Have meeting with willing art colleagues to get ideas. Reading time.
Interviews with other VI students and adults.
Possibly visit the School for the Blind in St. Joseph

December-January- Have someone else observe my teaching time with K to make recommendations, a fresh mind to the project.
Meet with VI team and assess where we are at in our goals, making adjustments as needed.

February-March- Start plans for 2013-2014 school year curriculum.
Decide on what tools need to be purchased and work on budget for this particular department of research.

April-May- Create a way to show the documented success and growth of K.

June- Reflect on school years work and goals. Decide ways to make it better for year two.

July-Build the best way to share findings with all that would benefit from this particular study

August-September (2013) - Get a game plan for 2nd grade art for K. Implement.

The great part about my situation is that I do not foresee needing outside grant funding for this project. My art budget may need some adjusting, but can easily accommodate our purchasing needs.
