 * Recorder Today:
 * Team Members Absent:

We shared where we all stand in our positions for next year.
 * Topics/ Meeting Outcomes: **

Cindy shared her lesson study on differentiation. She used the book, __Clockwatchers__, by Stevie Quate to learn more about motivation for students. Differentiation is a difficult lesson study to run because it is not cut and dry.

We talked about the different ways that we could use Lesson study for differentiation: Classroom lab, where the group comes together to observe the group and then brainstorm ideas or to have teachers bring smaples of work form 5 students and then discuss what to do next with thosed particular students.

Cindy shared a book: T__he Differentiated Instruction Coach's Guide for Observation and Feedback__ by Betty Hollas, that she got at the Differentiation conference in Vegas last summer. It is a nice book that helps the coach and the teachers work together.
