Heather Macey, a fourth-grade teacher, reflects on and shares her conferring successes and challenges. Heather is finding that she has a good handle on her high-needs students with whom she meets daily, but wonders whether she is meeting the needs of the higher-level readers who don't require such frequent monitoring.
The questions she has about how to stay focused on their goals and what to write down when conferring with her strong readers offer a perfect chance to model how we use our conferring form. We think this form provides a great scaffold for new and experienced teachers alike.
