CAFE™ - Recording Goals in the Pensieve (VIDEO)

Are you wondering how we use the forms and what kind of notes we jot down in our Pensieve (assessment notebook)? In this video, Gail and Cindy take a few minutes to reflect on a conference Cindy just had with one of her students. While the class is actively engaged in the Daily Five™, Gail and Cindy briefly discuss what they noticed, as well as possible next steps to help the student achieve her reading goals. As they reflect together, Cindy records the conference date in the calendar and fills out the individual conferring sheet with the data she wants to remember.

If you are just learning how to give assessments, participate in informal conferences, and interpret data, you may find it helpful to have a coach or colleague work alongside you as Gail does with Cindy.
