 * Reviewed the PLC Facilitator meeting - discussed some strategies to assist with PLC situations
 * PLC Debrieif - discussed any positives and/or issues related to PLC collaboration
 * Look-For Data - we discussed the two elements of our SMART Goal and ways to provide feedback to teachers where real change in instruction might happen. We looked at October data and how we would color-code the walls.
 * Stacy either tapes or takes pictures with his i-Pad and then has specific conversations with teachers
 * Stacy shared an app. he downloaded that allows him to speak and it dictates so he can take notes on the fly about his day or what he observes
 * Mary administered a "True Colors" personality test - this tells you what your personality type is and also allows you to determine what "color" another person might be so you can understand their point of view.
 * PLC Debrief
 * Bring data to next meeting
 * Watched two videos about the Common Core - discussed what changes they described - Mary will show these at the CT meetings
 * Housekeeping - workshop attendance - Mary, Jen, and Tim M. (Des Moines Nov. 5th) and the rest to SAI Luncheon that day
 * As a team we reviewed the document where Mary summarized the Kiosk tasks. We looked at the items matching our Look For rubric we are creating.
 * We decided to underline all of the items matching what we came up with and added a couple phrases or words we liked better from DLT - we will present this to the DLT at the next meeting
 * At a team we analyzed our Look For Data wall - September data. We used the "Data Wall Analysis" sheet to address the data wall. We had a very good discussion - especially clarifying aspects of what observations were made during walk through's. We discussed what it looks like to have "Instructional Techniques" observed. These discussions help us to be more consistent. The data revealed that we have the bulk of our observations falling in the 2's and 3's. We looked at the outliers in the 4 column and the 1's column - we had a good discussion about the type of feedback you provide to teachers who are very good in each category to move them even further... and what feedback you provide when you have identified a 1 in a category. We will continue to work on providing specific feedback to see improved instruction. It is important we ask for reflection feedback so we have the necessary conversations.
 * We will color code overall walkthrough's by month and each month we will use a different color for each administrator. We will see how we have shown growth, etc.,
 * The next time we meet to analyze our walkthrough data is on October 25th (4th Thursday)

__** 9/27 **__
 * We placed the initials in the appropriate column based on the walkthroughs
 * We completed 3 examples and talked through how we each might rate the Look For category based on the observations of each Principal
 * We didn't get all the walkthrough information charted so each Principal is to send Mary the data and she will compile the info on a district data wall for analysis at the next meeting

__**Monthly Data Wall Analysis**__
> 1) Learning Targets - posted, discussed, student awareness > 2) Level of Bloom's Taxonomy - we want to provide quality feedback on both to improve instruction
 * We will be using our Walk Through data to create a data wall. We are focusing on 2 "Look For's".
