The Manage Phase

(7.1) Process Management:

               

Planning Project leadership Progress monitoring Process management Conflict management

(7.2) Student Preparation:

               

The students are told about the idea for the project 3weeks before it started. New ICT tools to be used during the project (i.e. using a spreadsheet for survey results) will be practiced before the project launch.

Whole class conference once per week

Group Progress

Team checkpoint meetings as well informally daily checking with teams and individuals on their work.

Individual             Progress

(7.5) Re-planning:

                

Since student autonomy is low there is low risk of the project going off track. 10% additional time allowance has been included for overrun but the end date cannot be exceeded. There is an option for homework to be used to catch up if necessary.

(7.6) Conflict Management:

               

Teamwork rules will be included in project launch presentation. Students are asked to initially try to work out conflicts on their own. In the case of a deadlock, issues are to be raised with the teacher. Lack of participation will be dealt with by culprits being removed from the project work and set to work on alternative individual tasks for the duration of the project.
