The 2nd group gathering of the team was held on October 15. Members watched our updated Dancing Backwards video that includes student content and commentary watch here, discussed the DB curriculum content, signed up for tasks and were introduced to new team member fundraiser, Kathleen who shared her passion for DWtO.
Team researcher Kate Frieson facilitated a wonderful, succinct and critical exercise on defining Goals and Objectives 
for both Dancing Backwards as well as for the actual curriculum being designed by Johanna Lee - special thanks to Kristen Cooke for your thoughtful input. 
Notice: While Team Member Iliana Turner is heading up the French Immersion component, we are looking for a person to coordinate the 8 week Dancing Backward program in the schools for early 2014. This person will schedule, book and administrate. Please forward any recommendations to Sandy at sandymayzell@gmail.com.
