Jodie Ingram: thanks
Jayne Germany: im not sure this pdp fits our goals, unless we count the student as ourselves???
Jayne Germany: Are these goals supposed to be for our campus teachers???
Sandra Hines: because of our goals... what will our mentors be able to do... and that is what we could write on the pdp
Jodie Ingram: do you mean mentee
Sandra Hines: yes
Jayne Germany: that sounds good if you mean mentee

Sandra Hines: can either of you get back into to look at connies example? the second of the top two?
Jodie Ingram: printing now. I am working at home and my folder of printouts are at school
Sandra Hines: printing the guide or the example?
Jayne Germany: where is the example?
Jodie Ingram: ig 4. I remember the example pretty well. whats the question
Sandra Hines: in module 3 towards the bottom
Jayne Germany: looking...
Sandra Hines: I was trying to remember the goal she was working toward..connie helped her clarify it
Jodie Ingram: it was about diverse learners
Jodie Ingram: I stole it for my goals
Sandra Hines: goalspd.rtf look at this file in module 3
Jodie Ingram: The goals fromthe example was Differentiate the needs of learners at various/diverse levels.

Sandra Hines: I think we will have to turn in the goalspd.rtf for this assignment
Jayne Germany: still working..i am having malicious script issues for the example...
Jayne Germany: okay--I have both open
Sandra Hines: If my goal was to. use questions to make the person reflect and think about their thinking ... would y'all be able to use that for this pre...sessioin?
Jodie Ingram: the goals are not due until week 3
Jayne Germany: yes--we will have to trun the pd in module 3
Sandra Hines: right...our discussion about them is due next week
Jodie Ingram: and the goals themselves too, right??
Sandra Hines: don't think so.. but could be wrong
Jodie Ingram: I think that what we are to do is to take your goal as you first wrote it and turn it into the finalized goal through cognitive coaching.
Sandra Hines: this is a participation grade
Jayne Germany: no--we have to dicuss this week
Jodie Ingram: But the goals are a product descriptor for week 3
Sandra Hines: let's try it... are y'all ready to help me clarify my goal?
Jayne Germany: yep--but there is a discussion in week 2
Jodie Ingram: ready
Jayne Germany: ready
Sandra Hines: okay... ask away
Jodie Ingram: which goal are we working on
Jayne Germany: is the goal still asking clarifying questions
Sandra Hines: use questions to make the student/teacher/person reflect and think about their thinking
Jayne Germany: now are we moving onto types of learning?
Jayne Germany: ...for that goal?
Sandra Hines: I thought clarifying and observable behaviors
Jodie Ingram: I was going to follow connie's example and ask how would you know that the personis reflecting
Jayne Germany: oh..I thought we were filling out the pdp, but I see what we are doing now..
Sandra Hines: I would look for more detailed explanation of their work/behavior
