How the modules work
The modules are to be completed in order 1 through 6.
Each module has three parts:
1. Module content (the “how to” for each module, what is to be done and how)
2. Resources (NEED TO KNOW pages, templates for letters and waste audits)
3. Checklist (specific action to be taken to complete the module)
Starting a Module
1. Go to OVERVIEW and click on the Module
2. Click on the Module and Resources to view – you can print or save to PDF
3. Click on Checklist when you are ready to start then click START MODULE
TOP TIP: To see the status of each Module and when these were started look at Progress – see navigation bar at top of the page.
Completing a Module
The Checklist is the key to completing a Module. Each Checklist has a list of tasks to be completed, questions to be answered, documents to be uploaded. When ALL of the Checklist items have been completed the EcoCrew Captain should let the Faculty advisor know that their work is ready to review.
The Faculty Advisor can Review and Approve each individual Checklist item. Once all have been approved Congratulations – that Module is complete. The “nautilus” logo will get filled section by section as the school progresses through the modules. Once completed, the checklist and the answers for each question can be downloaded using the link in the Module Overview.
Once all six modules have been completed the school is awarded a completed PFC “nautilus” badge.
TOP TIP: To see who completed each Checklist item look at the Activity Log – see navigation bar at top of the page.
