Walking bus Clause Samples

Walking bus. Concept: The walking bus support is a personalized accompaniment of the stakeholder that are soliciting us: • 1st step: meeting with interested teachers of head of schools and parents to explain our role, the different steps and our support. • 2nd step: regular contact by phone or e-mail and punctual meeting according to their need. We also propose to interested stakeholders to visit an ongoing walking bus to see how it is working. • 3rd step: methodology and tools to implement the walking bus – creation of a kit: we want to create a full pedagogical kit with all the documentation needed from the stakeholder to implement a walking bus: − Diagnosis tools (questionnaires, Excel file to study the questionnaires, travels map methodology etc.). − Communication tools: poster, brochures, presentations, listing of email for dissemination. − Juridical information: about responsibilities above all! − Organisation tools: parents’ charter, children’s charter, subscription files, schedules. − Teachers tools: in order to associate them the soonest and give them some ideas around mobility: educative files, project class ideas etc. − Setting up of a documentation platform that anyone can consult and fill in but not very used for now. Actions: The main steps of a walking bus are the following: • Diagnosis (through questionnaire): help in identifying the children that could use a walking bus and volunteering parents. • Creation of a steering committee: for the implementation of the project and daily organisation. All the stakeholders must be in (parents, teachers, head of school, municipality representatives, associations). • Defining routes: the safest and shortest route (30 min maximum) to determine the schedules and bus stops. • Modalities of functioning: children subscription modalities, volunteers charter, insurance of civil responsibility etc. • Information meeting organisation for a test day. If stakeholders are motivated, it is possible to go on with the project. But if there is no parent or teacher lead in this kind of volunteer project, it can’t work. The walking bus is not funded by any grant, it works on the basis of volunteers. (The order of steps can vary from one context to another.) Calendar of actions for new schools: • Information research and documentation platform creation with continuous updating: March 2009 – February 2010. • Initiation, follow up and support of first walking bus: from spring 2010. • First contacts with “Mille Patte” network: February ...
