How?
//Any other implementation items that you wish to share. What challenges will this project face as schools look at implementing it? How will you overcome obstacles and arguments against this project or methods used? How will it be managed and facilitated by teachers? Will students be leaders? How will you know if this is done well? How will you encourage student participation? How will you motivate? How will you know if the project is successful?//

The Future
//What needs to be done next? Are there any topics that need to be researched further to implement this idea?// =**Evaluation Notes**: topic title good/relevant= Family History, food unit take recipe/cafeteria food & make it diabetic, personal story, have the kids find another country where diabetes on the rise =References=

//Include any important references you have about this topic.//
