COLLABORATION: Steps in CPPT  - Responsibilities Case Study

The teacher-librarian (TL) can facilitate the smooth flow of the planning and teaching process by ensuring that all "housekeeping" items have been attended to during the preparation for learning. Meeting times, schedules, equipment booking, etc. all need to be considered as well as who will do. Use your planning guide as a record keeping tool.

Instructional Approaches: A Framework for Professional Practice

Who will do record- keeping for assessment
and how will classroom teachers get these

Consider the adaptive dimension when planning assessment activities.

Who will ensure that the required modifications are made if the project
needs to be changed?
This project had no coordinator but faced several issues using consensus as the decision-making style.  For example, the first round through the units was extended by 2 days, the second round by 1 day, and the final two rounds were back to 5 days each.
