Monitor

Monitoring your project throughout each stage will help you to respond to changes that occur along the way. The more specific your ‘indicator’ the easier it will be to evaluate your achievements.

Example: Objective: Eliminate single-use plastic in my community Date: October 5th, 2020

Possible Indicators of Success · The number of people who signed your petition to eliminate single-use plastic · Students in nearby communities are inspired by your project · Your friends get involved and support your efforts
