Share/Discuss Critical Events Analysis ** Sue: Feedback from teachers on the lesson study has been positive. They feel like it was a valuable process and feel like it has improved their writing instruction. Having team discussions and vertical team discussions helped teachers weed through the lengthy Calkins lessons and feel better about the program in general. She will continue on next year with more work on conferring within the Writing Workshop (Mark Overmeyer), Words Their Way, and Differentiation. Her staff has expressed the desire for nothing new next year and time to extend all of the new work they did this year.
 * Topics/ Meeting Outcomes:

We would like to continue our PLC in light of the Lit Institute for our group this summer, it would be beneficial to come together as a group to discuss our new learnings and share ideas on how to implement this work in our respective buildings.

Kelly: she facilitated a book study with the staff which has pushed the staff over the hump and onthe way to new places. The beginning part of the work was very challenging for her...staff was in an uncomfortable place and seemed to take it out on her and the principal. They didn't abandon the work; which would have been easy to do. As a result the stff was able to determine building priorities which we are now able to tackle. We created a building scheduling committee and took a day to create an intervention schedule to allow for "All Hands On Deck" with grade level interventions. The staff felt very good about the schedule the committee created and felt like their priorities which they had determined were addressed. they seem to have great buy-in.
