Questions+and+Possible+Next+Steps

a. Who ‘we’ are that are being asked to write the curriculum? (**Dr. Kenneth Sherman at NOAA)**

b. For how many of the LMEs will this be for (Or will it be generically applicable to all LMEs)? Or maybe some generic, some specialized to particular LMEs? (**Perhaps start with one as a prototype. Other thoughts on this?)**

c. What grade level(s) is/are desired to be included? (**Ideally, reach Elementary, Middle & High School...build upon each year...Assume, Elementary the students will learn ABC, Middle school they will learn DEF and high School will learn GHI...etc...Other thoughts on this idea?)**

d. What is the time frame for developing this? (**Good question, this is //ad hoc// at the moment. First, need to figure out exactly what Ken would like to see grow from this...and then how he envisions it. After that, I imagine we could write a grant for financial support...I do feel, we need to create a structured system on this now that there seems to be a good group of teachers who are very interested in this.)**

e. What resources might be made available? (**Basically, we are creating something out of nothing....and I believe that if we get organized on this with a game plan, [business plan] we can probably have a lot of resources made available to us...but first we need to have the scaffolding of the project, so we have a place to begin.**)

f. Where/how will the curriculum be disseminated? Is it intended to be a general NOAA resource, or are there other, more specific customers for whom this is intended? (**Good question. don't know yet...I do think if we make this a teacher-made & student-developed project with a game plan in mind it might soar better than if it just comes directly from a NOAA type organization..**)
