He also reemphasized that the role and responsibility of all the teacher mentors is equal for the planning and facilitation of the Exhibition work.

 * **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Timeline ** || * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Due to shortage of time in the last term, the pre planning needs to begin in February in the Prep time.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">As a result, Prep time on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will be utilized for the Exhibition work.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Formal Prep will continue on Monday and Friday.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Carry home Prep will be assigned on Wednesdays.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">SEN and ES Prep support is justified as the students are still getting support for the Exhibition work.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This work will begin from Tuesday, 7th February, 2012.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Full-fledged Exhibition work will begin from Monday, 27th February, 2012.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">To assist the students for this intensive process, the students of Grade 5 will be fully exempted from taking part in the Grandparents’ Day celebrations and MCs will be taken from Grade 4. ||
 * **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">TD theme resources ** || * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Some teachers have already posted ideas of resources for provocations.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Others are encouraged to do the same.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Pooja to look for photos and videos on the theme.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Kumi and Mrinalini to coordinate for guest speakers.

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Each strand was cross checked and discussed to ensure each teacher understands its nature and therefore look for appropriate resources and provocation ideas. ||
 * **<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Parent Involvement ** || * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Parents will be introduced to the Exhibition in detail during Form Days by Abhimanyu.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Another meeting will be conducted specifically for greater awareness of parents. Ideally the students after their pre planning should make the presentations along with the teachers. ||
