Staff:  David M Ludwig, Deb Hericks, Priscilla Quintana, Beth Kabes, Nancy Movall

Discussion:  Executive Director shared that September PDO went great.  Work groups are putting in the efforts for the work needed.  Work groups have decided to bring in Brad Giese hopefully in May.  The PD chairs have had discussions regarding the structure of the PDO and have a rotation schedule to keep new and fresh ideas.  The PD Committee will include one affilaite memeber and one member from each work group.  Work group members need to be different than affiliate representatives.  Discussion to break down the planning committee into sub groups to also guide their work.  

Discussion:  Executive Director shared the dates for training and the representatives for the CCSI.  ESU 1, 3, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 18 are the ESUs who will have representatives.  The group met with KLK last week to meet/greet to discuss the process movement forward.  There are some concerns with 8 trainers and 80 schools on the list.  By December there will be 100 schools on the list.  Have the priority schools given their permission for these trainer to come into their school?  Training provides another tool to use, if KLK is coming to observe, this makes it not a tool but a must? Thirty second feedback include glows and grows, schools don't want their ESU person there to be a part of the process especially the "grows."  Do the schools want KLK and/or ESU person, who is the person to do the evaluations?  Could they video tape and learn via modules that way?  We need to advocate on both sides of KLK and the schools.  Could they make some of the training dates for the ESU personnel can give KLK feedback on what they may see could be done different to advocate for their schools?  Will these trainers be certified when they finish?  Has KLK copyrighted their process?  What if needs improvement doesn't want the help?  Will the ESUs get a heads up on the new list coming out in December.  Discussion regarding making cold calls along with NDE to discuss the needs improvement schools.  Questions/answers to be included in the next Talking Points.  

Discussion:  EdReady Implementation Coordinator gave an update on EdReady.  How we know? Program Influence; Progress within the EdReady system to include the number of participants and assessment results; Qualitative feedback to include what criteria the schools/teacher use define the success; Longitudinal Data.  Continue to look at how we align with those Grade 5 - 20.
