2016 Foxborough Summer Institute

“I have such a hard time reaching all of my students enough to make conferences meaningful.”
“What am I supposed to say to a student when their whole draft seems like a disaster?”
“Why am I even trying to confer with students? It takes up so much time and I can’t even use the information for grades!”
Sound familiar? If you are a teacher of reading and/or writing workshop and have had these thoughts (and we all have!), I recommend you attend this session. In our workshop, we will cover the who, what, when, why, and how of conferring. Tips for conferring and organizational structures will also be covered. Be sure to bring your specific burning questions about conferring to be answered during the workshop (grades K-8).
