Outline for Final Report

This report should be written in a publishable format offering readers a snapshot of your school, a description of your project design and its results, and an account of what you have discovered about teaching and learning in this experience.

III. Resources Used in Developing and Implementing the Project (e.g., publications/books, resource experts, facilitators)

·         How did these materials or the expertise of outside resource people help or not help the faculty as it worked on the project issues? In commenting on resource people, please do not use their names.
