The Creative Teacher Think Tank was designed to have teachers write the prototype modules. Principals and Teachers were asked to nominate a creative teacher for this program. Teachers met by grade levels on Saturdays from 8:30 AM to 2:45 PM to write and review the lessons.
The teachers brought the science and religion textbooks that they used in their classrooms. They were asked to select concepts that they already taught and could interface between science and religion class. The teachers wrote over seventy prototype lessons in this phase of the project.
