Step 3 — Logistics
Prepare the facilities, transportation, technology, meals and supplies needed for a successful summer program.
Step 3 converts the implementation plan into the physical and operational conditions needed to run the program. Facilities, transportation, technology, meals and supplies should be confirmed early enough to resolve problems before students and teachers arrive.
Use the individual checklists and inventories as working documents; the final readiness checklist should verify that all major logistics areas are complete.
Operational Readiness Is Instructional Readiness
The learning model depends on small-group instruction, daily community adventures and integrated activities. Logistics are not separate from the educational design—they make the design possible.
