 * This observation tool will be something that the teacher being observed will provide if he/she wishes for you to use it. If it is not readily available in the class you are observing, then that means the teacher would prefer that you not use an observational tool when observing.

= Minutes: = Notes from today's meeting: Survey questions- You can show pictures before creating the survey questions. - Look through the website for possible questions. - At the top of your survey worksheet students need to put "When I was a child..." -(Jenn) We should focus more on the structure of a research paper, instead of on how to write it. -(Jenn) Focus on the bibliography because the questions are on the CST. - We should have two body paragraphs for the research paper.

Peer Observations -The way we should use peer observations is to learn from each other and not put down others teaching. - Take the observation sheet if it is put out by the teacher. -Next PLC be prepared to share one positive thing we saw during the peer observations. - Keep a log of where you have been for Lori.

Expectations -We broke up into level teams to discuss expectations of what we expect at the different levels.
