I’m really trying to be better about holding writing conferences this year.
These simple questions have completely changed the quality of my writing conferences:
🔹 What did you write about? Why?
🔹 What was the easiest part of your writing process?
🔹 What was the most challenging part?
I’ve found students to be very open and honest. It’s helped me build relationships and obtain valuable insight. It makes note-taking easy!
As for feedback, I’m just using sticky notes. It’s easy, fast, and they stick right in students’ notebooks! For now, I’m making a “Glow” sticky note and a “Grow” sticky note. This keeps conferences short and sweet, just like this blog post. 😉
If you’re looking for a conference log, I have one that you can download for free in my TPT store!
Happy conferring!
