Make Notes During Writer Conferences

There is a variety of information teachers may want to record during a writer conference, but it should be noted that the form is not the focus. Rather, the teacher’s top priority is to have more conversations with more writers more frequently. Consequently, if documentation will inhibit the quantity or quality of conferring, then hold off on introducing any form.

That said, there is a lot of power in the teacher recording what was said, heard, and seen in a writer conference.
