The manual has templates and forms that can be used in community outreach, teacher communication, activity implementation and information gathering. This guidebook will help mentors and students utilize the manual more effectively. Throughout the project, the student leaders are called upon to perform tasks with which they have had little or no experience.

Reflection and Celebration
This section describes the importance of acknowledging the tremendous effort that you and your students have given.
It is best if the modules are used sequentially. However, the modules can be referenced out of sequence, and repeated, as needed. The timeline for the modules will be based on the duration of your ECO2school campaign. Modules should be presented at least a week apart, but the calendaring of presentations depends on the events you plan with the students, the extent of these events, all school activities such as club day or spirit week and academic schedules, such as AP tests.
For additional guidance as well as toolkits and templates refer to the ECO2school manual.
