Challenges – ExternalScheduling: Being cognizant of demands on teacher’s timeNeeds: Staying in touch with what are the needs of teachers in your state.Technology: Planning for ease of shared electronic resources; making sure shared resources are accessible, editable.
Hint: PDFs are difficult!

Challenges - InternalScheduling: being cognizant of demands on faculty’s time. Pitch: coaching faculty affiliates on the pitch of their lecture for teachers. Students: Bringing graduate students into the workshop requires another level of logistical coordination.Financial: any collaborative work between units in the university requires some financial negotiation, especially in terms of support staff. Negotiating this at the beginning of a grant is usually the best way to go.
