Goal 2010-2011 Laura

My goal this upcoming school year is based on information that I learned from the Literacy Institute. I have worked on Writers Workshop in the past, but am going to be focusing in on a part of Writers Workshop that I struggled with last year. My goal is to use conferring in my classroom to build knowledge on my students to drive instruction using small groups and mini lessons. I am hoping to be able to confer with my students early in the year once classroom management is set up. I hope that conferring will allow me to know my students quicker and gain more knowledge about them as a student.

  1. I enjoy conferring one on one with my students. I feel it is time well spent with each reader. Last year that was one of my main focuses because I was in Sun Path's literacy cohort round one.
    I had to make time for it each week, but it was worth it.
    Do you have any ideas from your conference that work well for you that you are willing to share? I have a template that I use, if you are interested I could send it to you.
