**__Group Discussion__** __Review of 9/18/2009 meeting__
 * We discussed the assignment of choosing a particular student to work on and mentor for relationship building. Not many people got started with it, but we added it to future assignments.
 * We are still checking how we should site things for copy right.
 * Beth talking with Jim McKenna about clinical skills to help behavirol problems.

__Review of Homework Assignments __ __Questions that have arisen since last meeting? __ __Update on the Wiki__
 * Part of our assignment was to read Chapter Six of our referenced book.
 * Some of the issues brought up were about stress causing impact on how you, as a teacher, perform.
 * In addition with the environment that we teach in, Alternative Education, relationship building appears to be more important than in a public school.
 * It is important there as well, however they need is more in alternative education.
 * Finally with most of the reading, we feel that we use these skills in our everyday practice.
 * How to you spend extra time at the end of class with the students when they finish early?
 * Some of the suggestions that were brought up were to have them write poems, manipulate pictures, etc... Attached is something, I, Mr. Vuk, designed to use with my students after our meeting.
