Yesterday, Chris and i met with the SW 683 class to review logistics, answer questions and more getting acquainted with students and our UP team.  Prof. Sue Ann had students to put together a logistics of their group including grantee site, date/time availability, members names with email addresses and leader of the group.  It was a good information session and we can move forward on developing a spreadsheet with this information;  we will also contact grantees to get their availability dates.

Today the team me; Chris and i de-briefed regarding the session with the students.  We also again attempted to contact UP partners to confirm site visits.  We next discussed the parent advocacy project and agreed that this will take some time to develop.  We have more immediate core work to consider--site visits being ne.  Second, dr gant discussed the need for a website for the evaluation team.  WIX and Google were recommended as templates. Chris suggested the need for a MI Gear Up site and dr gant stated good and something further down the road and which also may not be in the role of the evaluation team.  We did talk about however a possible collaboration with EduGuide, parents, students, eval team etc to develop an information website.

Next steps, outline what we want on the website.
