PLC+Meeting+Notes

March 1st, 2012: Chapter One

1. As a group, we went over designated roles and responsibilities. 2. Chapter 1:  a. Parent role: presented as a new and positive concept.  b. Bring 3 rule: coach, parent and student each bring ideas for intervention.  c. Student role is important. By giving the student choice, control and responsibility, the student has ownership in the intervention.  d. A pool of problem solving experts relieves the teacher of having "to know everything".  e. After the coach, parent and student have met, the ideas generated for school, home, and studet are implemented for approx. 6-8 weeks.  If the ideas are not working, then the team will meet and change the intervention according to the data collected. 3. At Tarhe:  It was discussed that we would like to try an informal approach with the teacher and the student (the teacher's role would be a mentor).  If the discussed ideas do not work, then an individual conference with the teacher, student and parent. 4. By involving the student in the process, the student moves from "victim" to a "respected" member of the intervention team.

I think this about covers it. If I've left anything out let me know.
