On Tuesday, September 2, 2008 the Literacy Support Network met in the Board Auditorium of the Hattie Mae White ESC.

 * **The next meeting will be on Tuesday, September 16 at the Hattie Mae White ESC.**  **
 * **Of the 80 current members of the network:** **
 * The meeting began with a video keynote speaker who had previously addressed the Dallas ISD Conference before the opening of the 2008-2009 school year (link to the video:   http://www.dallasisd.org/keynote.htm )
 * ** **Paula Pierre**  **  led the group in an Ice Breaker protocol (and debrief) so the members of the network could begin to know each other and build trust. The protocol used was the Human Bingo (see attached)
 * ** **Stephanie Sandifer**  **  led the group through a Norm setting protocol (and debrief)****.**** Norms set by the morning and afternoon sessions will be merged for use by both groups.
 * The fall 2008 book study for the network is based on the text ////Differentiated Literacy Coaching: Scaffolding for Student and Teacher Success//// by Mary Catherine Moran ( link to text: http://www.amazon.com/Differentiated-Literacy-Coaching-Scaffolding-Student/dp/1416606238/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220558231&sr=1-1 ) Network members, sitting in feeder pattern/regional tables, participated in a facilitated discussion of chapter one using the Three Level of Text protocol (see attached).
 * After a 10 minute break, coaches focused their work on the foundational piece of Literacy Leads the Way—the Literacy Commitments. Table groups assumed the role of either a math, science or social studies PLC and worked together through the protocol at the back of the Literacy Commitment flip chart.
 * ** **Tina Angelo**  **  stated the following goals that she has for the support that will be provided for the network this year:
 * To ensure that network members leave each meeting with content and protocols that can be immediately replicated on a campus
 * To provide members with a true PLC support network where work can be shared and enhanced
 * To keep an open line of communication with each member via various formats
 * To help members lay the foundation of data that will be needed to document the effectiveness of their work
 * To support the goal laying “the foundation of data”, ****Paula Pierre**** shared a Data Chart for coaches to begin completing on their campus (see attached)
 * Members were asked to debrief the meeting based on the Literacy Commitments (ie. “Which commitments did we fulfill in today’s meeting?”)
 * To support the goal of keeping “an open line of communication”, ****Stephanie Sandifer**** shared with the network two websites that will be maintained for the use of coaches:
