Kathleen-- I have done OS with people who come from different organizations
and it has worked quite well. As in all OS events, the critical piece is the
THEME and how it is worded. And it is important to know by what theme your
participants will become engaged. Could you get a teacher populated design
team together? Do you plan to have a client? Would one of the schools or
districts consider using this as a teacher in-service? What about a school
board? These are just some "braindrops" tumbling from my head this hot day
in Phoenix.

Good luck and keep us posted. --BJ
