__**Notes from Office Team Meeting**__

Office Team November 12, 2012


 * Reading discussion:**

__Aimsweb__ presentation by Carrie Best was well done however some still question need for the assessment and continue to support Reading Recovery only. Some indicated that Reading Recovery is under criticism, but Kevin responded that Aimsweb will be used and that Reading Recovery is still used but its not for all kids.

Kevin is now on the Board for the Central Ohio Branch of the International Dyslexia Association (COBIDA)

__Idea:__ Kevin got information from E.O (Marburn) about OG practioner training. Training could be provided to reg. ed. teachers 20-30- in practices of teaching reading in content areas. This could be very effective in secondary setting. Suggested that Judy Miller and Laurie Sutherin be asked to learn more about this training and review it with secondary gen. ed. teachers in mind. Practitioner Hours- OG style of instruction Angie Williams (AOGPE)

Kevin is planning to contract out for re-evaluations Look at caseload numbers (80 is considered best practice per Kevin)
