Loraine telling about her experience with gateway to the arts. If you have a resident coming in then make sure that you set up expectations so that you are not left in a shocking situations. Share dress and language Info from Gateway - our line of inquiry is so related to the classroom - any performer, artist would like would fit in our line of inquiry Gateway holds a summer institute where they take you through how a residency works and you can choose a sign artist. Joe shared his hours log and described the way he documented. We dissussed documentation and the hours log. There are 2 levels of documentation: documenting your hours and documenting your data

Documenting your hours: How do you do it? Go to the Creative Collaborative wiki- click on time documentation - go to your tab (you need to be signed in to your google docs or gmail account) What can you document? Activities directly related to your inquiry. Research, meetings or Skype with Cory or others in our group if it is about the inquiry. Teaching a lesson you are documenting for the inquiry.

Documenting data: We need to document our data individually and collectively. Collectively it must be in a format we can share with all.

The meeting ended with the small groups sharing. Each person brought some data and results of student work to share. After sharing each person was asked simple clarifying questions and then probing questions by the members of their group.**
