**The secondary group will consist of Maureen Gradel (leader), Bob Johnson, Danette Richards, Kelly Lambert, Kevin McHugh, Phyllis Girard, Megan Swope, Angie Minor, Lisa Oates, and Lisa Follman. Our first meeting will be held via participation in a wikispace (more information/instructions to follow soon). The last two meetings will be face-to-face. We will use the ASCD Study Guide, provided by Diane Paul in a previous email, to drive our discussions.** **Meeting #1 via wikispace will cover the Introduction, Chapter 1, and Chapter 2. The wiki will prompt you to discuss question numbers 3 and 4 from the Introduction, question numbers 1, 5, and 10 from Chapter 1, and question number 2 from Chapter 2 of the ASCD study guide. In addition, feel free to post comments on any other aspects of the study guide. These posts should be completed no later than May 9th.** **Meeting #2 will be held in Megan Swope’s classroom (B124) at PHS-West on May 23rd at 2:30. Chapters 3 and 4 will be our focus. Give thought to and be prepared to discuss the questions for those chapters provided in the ASCD study guide.** **Meeting #3 will be held off-site (TBD) on June 10th at 2:45. Chapter 5 and the Afterword will be our focus. Give thought to and be prepared to discuss the questions for those chapters provided in the ASCD study guide.** Please let me know if you have any questions. As soon as the wikispace is set up and ready to be used, I will be back in touch with specific directions as to how to use it. Thanks. Maureen Gradel
