The partners will create cross-school teams of students to encourage collaboration, assign roles and responsibilities to students within each team (e.g., researchers, presenters, project coordinators). Followingly, we will share research findings and resources between partner schools. Teachers and students will collaborate virtually to discuss progress and challenges. Each cross-school team will develop presentations, essays, or other forms of communication to showcase their chosen environmental hero according to chosen forms of information exchange. Regular virtual meetings will be held among partner schools (monthly) to ensure consistent communication. Ongoing collaboration will be shared through documents, emails, and project management tools. Teachers from partner schools will share the responsibility of coordinating curriculum integration, guiding students, and facilitating virtual meetings. Students will be responsible for conducting research, creating presentations, and actively participating in cross-school teams. Both partner schools should collaborate in providing resources, feedback, and support to ensure the project's success.
