Prioritizing Community Resources

• What will the students learn from this experience?
• How does that learning relate to the curriculum, the outcomes, and their eventual work in this field?
• How much support will the resource provide for your students? Will it be broad support—a general tour of a facility; targeted support—a hands-on internship; or little support—a pamphlet?
• Does the resource already have educational outreach programs?
• Does the resource have an established internship program?
• What are the logistics of using this resource—cost, location, language?
• What is the fun factor? Would the students be excited to use these community resources?
