**Topics/ Meeting Outcomes**: Determine book study for our PLC and possible combined school wiki book study. We put together a wiki book study for Conferring by Patrick Allen so teachers can participate in inter-school discussions about the strategies suggested in the book. Kelly will work on the flyer this weekend and email it to the CoP by Friday, October 1st so they can forward to their staffs. October 19th: Chapters 1 and 2 November 2nd: Chapters 3 and 4 November 16th: Chapters 5 and 6 and meet face to face 4:15-5:45 p.m. at Franklin November 30th: Chapters 7 and 8 December 14th: Chapters 9 and 10 and meet face to face 4:15-5:45 p.m. at Sandburg **Phase 3 Planning Days**: Sandburg has used some of their time with Mark Overmeyer, working on assessments, rubrics, and conferring. Wilder and Lenski have not determined how the days will be used. Wilder is considering giving some fo the time to intermediate teachers for calibrating their standards based grading practices, or re-writing tests to align with standards based gradeing. Franklin could be using them as staff development on Transforming Student Learning. As a CoP we will read //__Transforming School Culture__// and begin our discussion at the next meeting (Oct. 29th or December 10th.)
