During this conference, Joan and Daniel decide on a goal and strategy for Maria, a kindergarten student who is new to English. Notice the central role the conferring notebook plays here to document her goal and strategy, and to set the next meeting. Record keeping during one-on-one conferring sessions is one of the best ways to keep instruction intentional and focused, and to accelerate growth. It is up to you which method you prefer: the paper/pencil pensieve or the online version.
