Section 5 - Work Plan/Timeline: Explain the sequence that the school plans to use to implement the proposed project after the grant is received with the following questions.

1. When do you anticipate the project/resources will begin to benefit the students? Please estimate the academic year, month and/or semester. (i.e. Spring of 2026 or October 2027)
2. What impact will the project/resources have on the success of the participating students? What are the learning objectives for the actively participating students? (You may include relevant NGSS, CCSS or other school learning standards)
3. What steps will need to be accomplished by the sponsoring teacher to implement the project? (i.e., approval by school committees, peer review, site administration, site council, School Board, etc.)
4. What has already been done? (i.e., curriculum components already in use or piloted, in-school demonstrations by supporting ham radio club, existing complementary curriculum in place, etc.)

NOTE: Ensure that ANY AND ALL of the specific equipment/resources that you are requesting through the grant program are highlighted in this work plan/timeline. It should be clear how each one is necessary to reach the goals of your proposed program. Requests for alternative configurations based on the site or specifics of your education plan are considered if adequate justification is provided.

Section 6 - Evaluation: Explain how the desired impacts will be measured and reported. When developing this sequence, consider:

1. Describe the assessment tool(s) that will be used to measure whether the resources have either been successful, on track, or in need of adjustment.

2. What types of statistics and recordkeeping are planned? When will the statistics be gathered and compiled? Who will do the analysis? Who will receive the analysis?

NOTE: Provide samples of assessment tools later on in Section 10 (If applicable).
