C&C recommends that coordinators create an agenda for each meeting, which would identify the facilitators, objectives, and resources. 

Here are two examples of a coordinator's plan for PD:

  • Facilitator(s): C&C coordinator
  • Resource(s): Online Support Module "Check" Data
  • Objective(s):

    • Discuss the following questions:
      • How are mentors currently accessing "check" data?
      • Are there any obstacles to obtaining and recording data weekly?
      • How are mentors determining the areas students are at high risk?
    • Review Implementing with Fidelity manual (Pg. 30 - Table 9)
