5. Why?
   1. Teachers, especially inexperienced ones, need guidance in how to create effective living-and-learning environments if we are to create radical change toward an ecosocial world. I am creating this to maximize effectiveness of PDCs and similar courses, create knowledge commons, and allow space for further editing and feedback of information I've provided.
6. How?
   1. Using a collection of my drawings and writings, I create a PDF, a Google Doc, and a feedback form that is posted to strategic websites, forums, and sent to other teachers and coordinators who could find it useful (ie permies.com).
7. What?
   1. A printable, reusable, shareable, navigable guidebook on coordinating a PDC and other world-changing living-and-learning courses, internships, and volunteer programs.
8. Who?
   1. My advisors, other instructors/coordinators, and at least two Gaia associates to receive and provide feedback on the pamphlet/guidebook.
   2. Facebook groups geared around teaching/organizing PDCs.
   3. Forums (ie permies.com)
9. When?
   1. By the end of February 2016.
10. Where?
    1. From my home to the rest of the world via the interwebs.
