Final comments from teachers on coaching cycle work.
 * Topics/ Meeting Outcomes:

Kelly: is finishing up Calkins Study groups for first and third grades. Will be co-teaching with a third grade teacher for the final 6 weeks of school teaching the Essay unit. Just finished coaching cycle with a 5th grade teacher; completing both essay units. It was a success. Soon will be finished with the Book Study on the Wiki for Whateve It Takes. These dialogues have been very insightful and rich. She highly recommends conducting a book study this way, especially over the summer months. Would like to follow up with the Mattos book for the summer to read with the staff. She is also working with writing with the 4th grade long term sub teaching Fiction Calkins unit, cooperative learning, and DRAs.

Sue: Taping and reflecting with teacher groups on their lesson study. Last class will be April 15th. Last week Sue video taped two teachers who cooperatively taught a lesson together, then they reflected on it together. It was a great experience for the teachers. There is one more class for her differentiation group. Will also finish with Words Their Way in April. She will also finish up her work with probationary teachers, a coaching cycle with another, and working one on one with consulting with teachers who are in transition for next year. Finishing up The Leader in My by Stephen Covey with the staff.

Linda: Was not able to complete the coaching cycle with a third grade teacher was not able to go forward. It has turned more into a consulting role to help her transition into next year. K-2 PLC will meet this week and has focused mostly on writing and conferring. Those that went to CCIRA are also sharing. Three second grade teachers are observing a teammate during the fiction unit of study. There hasn't been much movement in Words Their Way and hope to progress with it more next year. Considering a book study for the summer.
