Checking out and heading home

Well, my work is nearly done and this is one of my last posts while here locally. I met with Bryce today to prep him so he can teach the rest of the science education lessons I designed after I have gone. I also have one last focus group tomorow from 1:15 to 2:15, a quick re-shower and, the 3:00 p.m. cab to the airport. I take the prop plane to Delhi and need to get from the local airport by taxi to the international building. I have a 6 hour layover and board around midnight for the return to Atlanta via Paris. (Just retracing my route).

The rest of the teacher leadership institute runs for three weeks beginning next Monday after the Emory faculty members (Arri Eisen, Mark Risjord and his family, Carol Worthman and Chuck Raison) leave this week. Chris Impey and his son, along with Mark St. John and Richard Sterling begin coming in on the weekend for the Teacher Leadership Institute. Gail Burd comes in the following week and then the entire summer project ends on July 5th.

Based on what the plans seem to be at this point, I won't be making a summer trip back in the future because this work will always ocur when the Challenge & Champions program takes place and I need to be in Atlanta for that. But there is more discussion about a winter event and the development of a virtual learning community so don't know when I'll be back over (imagine sometime) and/or if I will be a programmatic developer from a-far.
So, stay tuned for more info from the project as time goes by. There won't be daily posts now unless something unusual is happening but I hope to keep updating as frequently as I can and will definitely report back once I've done a thorough look at the interview data.

I hope you enjoyed my trip prep and travel blog and would love to hear back from you on your opinion of it.
See you back on the western side of the Atlantic! This sure has been an interesting journey,
karen

Dear Karen,

It looks like the adventure of a lifetime. What a lot of fun & learning! It looks, also, like the blog software worked well. (The third millenium is upon us!)

Bon voyage for the return trip.
