[minor] In the sentence, “While more pilot testing is necessary in order to make definitive judgements on SHIC as a whole, we feel that we have gathered enough data to guide strategic changes to this exceedingly novel project.” “exceedingly novel” seems like a substantial exaggeration to me. There have been EA student groups, and LEAN, before (as you know), as well as inter-school groups for many different causes.
I see where you’re coming from. When we wrote this I think we were referring to the fact that there don’t seem to be any clubs or programs at the high school level that have the same goals as SHIC, and that we’re feeling like we’re in uncharted territory as we’ve been reaching out to these institutions, teachers and students, mainly because building a curriculum into the network seems like a new approach.
In any case, that’s not well explained in the document, and I don’t think that sentence gives off the message we want it to, so I’ll strongly consider editing. Thanks!
