How to determine if an IU should do this: 1. Do your schools have coaches? then yes. 2. Are they willing to collect data? No real definitive plan for collecting data though. 3. Maybe districts would use teacher leaders, librarians, those types of roles.

Many won't even know until budgets shake out. Combine PIIC and CFF coaches/teacher groups. Utilize meeting times to talk about teaching - not the tools. Some may have to prepare to have no one actually come to the IU next year - might have to be all virtual, etc. $28K for 70 days of work for PIIC Mentors July meeting is crucial for participation. Monthly Skype calls are utilized for communication between PIIC coaches. Out of IU 20 days minimum - Question: are expenses covered for out of IU time? PIIC Mentors try to organize Penn Literacy Network interest, 4 separate sessions, Coaches and Mentors must go. Help run study groups with the teachers. Try to move beyond being a resource person - move up the levels of intensity.
