=**Meeting Notes**= On Tuesday, March 24, 2008 the Literacy Support Network met in the Board Auditorium of the Hattie Mae White ESC (morning session 8:30-11:30 and afternoon session 12:30-3:30). This meeting was mandatory for all literacy coaches. NORTH: Juliette Abramson (Sam Houston MST), Saundra Miles (Ninth-Grade College Prep Aca.), Toni Marshall (Wheatley) SOUTH: 100% attendance EAST: Pamela Wischmeyer (Edison), Lynda Cobb (Stevenson) WEST: Terri Goodman (Challenge), Gerald Thurman (Westbury), Gilda Foster (West Briar) CENTRAL: Mikey Keating-Smith (Lanier), Christy LeFlar (Hamilton), Sofia D’Arcy (Clifton), Carolyn Thibeaux (Waltrip), Mary Ridley (Ryan) ALTERNATIVE: 100% attendance The focus of the meeting was Cognitive Coaching and was facilitated by Dr. Anne Coppenhaver of the University of Houston Clear Lake. The work centered on creating questions that could be used in coaching sessions. Coaches observed a “fish bowl” discussion of two coaches discussing data (classroom observation notes) and deciding on the questions that they would want to ask of the teacher to begin their conference. Pairs of coaches were then given a different data set so they could practice the same process. Dr. Coppenhaver set the expectation that the planned questions should always include the standards of effective teaching as found in the state’s PDAS language.
