 * Small groups of coaches rotated to Smart Board “centers” to work with secondary core content managers/specialists to (1) understand the text structure of HAPGs (2) identify existing literacy strategies within each core content that fulfill Literacy Commitments (3) ask content specific questions to inform their work in content area classrooms
 * Coaches took notes at each content station by using the Literacy Commitment Walk-Through form that was introduced at the last meeting (see attached)
 * Coaches’ feedback revealed the need to encourage teachers to view CLEAR online in (rather than just printing out HAPGs) to get the full benefit of supporting documents and resources
 * With coaches divided into small groups around each of the 4 Smart Boards, they were able to practice using the technology and also explore the Literacy Leads the Way wiki
 * Literacy Commitment flip charts were issued to coaches from campuses who did not receive enough for each teacher.
 * Content Area Managers and Specialists used SMART Boards to explain how the Literacy Commitments are integrated throughout their content area HAPGS to the Literacy Support Network. ||
