To research, understand, and implement best practices for Reading Across the Curriculum in each classroom. **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">Resources studied/viewed: Did not have enough time to do this during our meeting, but we did agree to do readings from the book, “Adolescent Literacy” for our next meeting. **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">All of the materials were borrowed by various members of the Committee for future discussion. **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">Essential concepts and learning: The Group decided to research the impact a teacher can have on reading through written communications between the teacher and student. **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">Two team members volunteered to come prepared for deeper analysis of the goals and needs of their program. **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">There are a variety of needs and styles within AEP but goals remain the same, to offer the best education that we can to students. **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">Team Reflections and Decisions: Our Group definitely collected stories. We will be going further into the process of the “Reflection Protocol” at our next meeting. **

 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;"> Compartmentalization **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">*These new topics came from listening to the teachers describe their programs. **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">Plans for the next meeting: Tom Kurtz volunteered to give a more in depth presentation of the Choices program. All of the teachers were interested in adapting something like this at their sites. Although not directly related to Reading Across the Curriculum, it can be part of a total program approach. **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">Tony volunteered to be our WIKI point person. **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">Martha volunteered to be our recorder. **
