Project Goals: Individual brainstorm on Project Goals
After talking with Ashley yesterday, it seems like there's widespread general consensus to focus on Durango schools, with a possibility for a focus group to work with other schools in the county. 

1. What are all the different things that a project on this topic could aim for?  What are the different goals it should have? List as many as you can come up with.
2. As of right now, what do you think should be the goal(s) of this project?  What do you need to accomplish in order to feel like this has been a successful project?

3 Small Groups
In your group, try to come to consensus on three goals.  Once you’ve done it, phrase them as formal objectives, and write them on butcher paper:

1. By the end of this project _______________ (stakeholder group or groups) will know/be able to________________.
   
2. By the end of this project, we will feel _________________.
   
3. By the end of this project, we will have created/communicated/designed/implemented (circle one)______________________.
   
4. Ultimately, we will feel a sense of success if we ________________________.
   
5. We will know if we’ve improved sustainability in a holistic way in our community if ______________________________.

Critique/Comment Process
As a group, move to the next group’s station.  On the butcher paper, comment on the following things:

1. Where do you see overlap with your objectives?  Where are the major differences?
2. Which objectives here would your group endorse?  Which do you think are not important/accurate?
3. How do these goals relate to Sustainable Development? How can we ensure they DO?
4. Save the butcher papers for Thursday's class!
