1. How buildings are organizing and implementing MAPS testing. Sytems were shared with each other. This provided us with ideas as to how the system can continue to be improved and refined. Should the district be providing consistency in the administration of MAPS assessment acroos the schools? 2. Where are schools in terms of "unpacking the standards" and determining essential learnings? East did this after the Mike Mattos training and was please with both the process and outcome. Now that the commom core has been adopted by the state, how will this mesh with the Colorado Standards that were recently unrolled? Hopkins and Moody have not done this yet. We will have to ask Joanne about Field.
 * Topics/ Meeting Outcomes:**

1. Hopkins has been working with Deb Smith. Deb's been modeling shared reading with predictable charts with Hopkin's kindergarten. Kindergarten teachers are shoeing buy in for predictable charts. 2.
