Project Planning and Implementation
The most effective IMPs are student-centered; they take into account the thinking, feeling, and skills of your students. Therefore, an important step in planning an IMP is determining your students’ needs, interests, and motivations. Matching your students’ interests with a project helps motivate them. Once you've assessed their needs and determined the overall direction, you can start planning. Besides a timeline, part of this planning is anticipating the barriers or problems you might run into during the project and thinking ahead about how you might address those issues.
