Each person needs to please bring the following articles:
We will use five articles from the October 2016 issue of Educational Leadership, which is dedicated to lesson design.
There are three ways that this issue can be accessed:
The issue can be purchased from the ASCD website here. Look for the box titled “Buy” (next to the contact box). The issue costs $8.95.

If you (or they) are a member of ASCD, you can copy and share the articles with your teams. The articles we will be using:

            • “Every Lesson Needs a Storyline,” by Ermeling & Graff-Ermeling (pp. 23-26)
             • “How to Partner with Our Curriculum,” by Remillard (pp. 34-38)
            • “Pursuing the Depths of Knowledge,” by Boyles (pp. 46-50)
             • “Starting Strong” by Curran (pp. 65-69)
             • “The Promise of Collaboration,” by Baumi (pp. 58-62)
They can join ASCD. Basic online membership is only $39 per year (and provides access to current and back issues of Educational Leadership) and basic membership, which includes receiving a hard copy of Educational Leadership, is $59.
 This issue is so useful that it would be a good edition to every school professional library. Please communicate this information to your participating schools. They will need to bring the articles with them to the retreat (As a reminder, we did not ask IPN teams to purchase any books this year, so we feel this is a reasonable request, particularly in light of the value of the issue).
 If you have any questions, please let me know.
Please also bring:
Unmistakable Impact by Jim Knight (both principal and IP need)
Skillful Team Leader by Elisa MacDonald (both principal and IP need)
Cognitive Coaching  (3rd Edition) by Arthur Costa & Robert Garmstrom (optional)
