The focus of the meeting was on differentiation of coaching. Resources used included: Literacy Coach contact logs (as submitted via Moodle), copy of //Building Teachers’ Capacity for Success: A Collaborative// //<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Approach for Coaches and School Leader //<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">by Pete Hall and Alisa Simeral (ASCD 2008)

Using a Jig-Saw protocol, coaches read and reported to the group chapters 5-8 of the book. Each chapter focused on one of the four stages of “awareness” that the authors use to describe teachers. Based on the descriptions of the stages, coaches analyzed their contact log list of teachers to determine the stage of each teacher.

Based on the “coach’s role and “strategies for fostering reflective growth” that the authors provide for each stage, coaches created a specific plan to their differentiate coaching for one teacher on their contact log.

Follow-up or Next Steps:
<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Follow up will be held at the next Literacy Support Network meeting (February 23, 2010) when coaches will meet in smaller groups and use a protocol to review the outcome and effectiveness of their plans.
