The plan must include action steps to not only raise awareness, but also steps that may be taken to address this challenge. It is important to note that not all steps to “solve” or address the issue must be taken prior to the creation of the presentation of the project and the overall purpose is not to “solve” the issue. Students will design a leadership plan for next steps in furthering positive change related to the theme of their project to empower their community. Remember no action is too small to make a difference.

- Include steps for how you can share what you learned from your research with your school community

- Include a rationale for why this idea (suggested or created) could improve your school community.

- A summary of the conversation your team participated in during the interview.

- If you designed the idea, but did not implement it, what would you need in order to implement your ideas? What prevented you

  from being able to implement it?
