Re: Team in Danger!

Multi-school teams can be a pain. I'd guess that your organizational hassle is of order n^2, where n is the number of schools. My team is a multi-school team, and organizationally it's hard, because we only have one teacher involved in the team at each school, and they're full-time teachers as well. A crucial part of making this work would be having a good website/email list/communication system so team members all have timely notification of events and time to work things out. Things have to be coordinated farther in advance so everyone knows about it. I've missed my share of meetings because they were announced during the day they were being held and I didn't check my email. That kind of scheduling works in one school, because you can just tell people in person, but you have to know everything 1-3 days in advance to make it work. However, you do get a much bigger community and the possibility of more mentors. Good luck.
