Revised Plan-This time I included the dates

After reviewing the comments and suggestions of my fellow bloggers  I went back and included dates for my project.  This has given me a starting date and helps me to stay on target with everything I need to be doing in order to be ready to begin by my start date.  Some of the "things" include sending out requests for committee members, researching different survey instruments to present to the committee and forming my goal statement for the committee.  I want to be sure I have carefully considered every aspect of the first meeting because I want the first meeting to be a pleasant and positive experience for everyone.  I want every member to feel this project is important to our school and its development.
