Notes from Activities:
One group read Chapter 2 from the book Building Teachers' Capacity for Success and also conducted a "book walk" over the entire book. This group decided to continue doing text-based discussions around parts of this book for the remainder of the year. They also felt very strongly that this book should be purchased for everyone because it presents such a clear and powerful definition for the role of a literacy coach.

The two other groups conducted successful [|consultancy] protocols around group members dilemmas.

All three groups shared their work with the whole group at the end of the meeting.

Follow-up or Next Steps:

 * 1) Remember to sign up for one of the February site visit slots (we need MORE February hosts)
 * 2) Please [|submit your CFG experience] as soon as possible so we know who has and has not yet received formal CFG Coach training.
 * 3) Between now and our next meeting, think about a dilemma, plan, or recent article that you would like to bring to the group.
