Dream Phase

Dream Phase

Dream is the phase where students submit and discuss their proposal ideas. By the end of this phase, all student ideas should be submitted.

In addition to submitting their own ideas, students are encouraged to review the ideas of other students and react to them with “likes.”

Administrators should monitor the Dream phase, encouraging students to:
  1. Submit their own ideas
  2. Reflect on the ideas submitted by others
  3. Identify any noteworthy or otherwise special ideas
  4. Begin researching which ideas are suitable for implementation



Minimum suggested time: 2 weeks
