 * Topics/ Meeting Outcomes: SIT process and how each building is progressing. Some conversations around Words Their Way implementation and Staff meeting processes at each building.

Linda has a 3rd grade team looking at student writing with a focus on organization and word choice. She also has a k-2 lesson study continuing from summer.** Sue has a Calkins Lesson Study with intermediate teachers. She also has an individual coaching cycle with a primary teacher working with reading. She's supporting teachers implementing Words Their Way k-5 (including staff development). Christina has been in all classrooms and is working with the Words Their Way groups, individual teachers on literacy blocks, and writer's workshops. Kelly has two grade levels participating in a Calkins coaching cycle, is working closely with two grade levels implementing Words Their Way, and supporting all grade levels on conferring.

We struggle with how to make this process more beneficial and not just a stepping stone to get into Special Ed. The SIT forms are challenging to work with. **
 * Questions/ Concerns/ Requests:
 * Clarification on if we can offer classes for credit that are conducted during lunch/planning. We thought it was acceptable...because it takes away from their planning time which they still need to in order to get the things done they would do during planning...? **

Conversation came up regarding the new district rubrics. Sandberg 5th grade team has some concerns with the rubric.

**Agenda for Next Meeting: Share ideas with team on successes we have had with the SIT process.** Share progress on coaching cycle groups and documents that have supported your work. Look at coaching cycle materials from Sweeney

Everybody bring documents/materials they are using or have used to support coaching cycles.
 * Assignments for Next Meeting: Who needs to bring what?**
