- 25. Conferring: Focusing on the Writer What is conferring? " Young writer's want to be listened to. They also want honest, adult responses. They need teachers who will guide them to the meanings they don't know yet by showing them how to build on what they do know and can do. Student writer's need response while the words are churning out, in the midst of the messy, tentative act of drafting meaning. And they need to be able to anticipate and predict how their teacher will approach them." ~Nancy Atwell, 1998 "I've seen good teachers give up on the notion of conferring individually with their students- and this is understandable, but not acceptable. In the teaching of writing, there could be no compromise that costs so much." ~Lucy Calkins, 1994 What can it be?
- 26. Conferring: Conversations "We enter into many conversations in part because we are interested in the subject, but mainly because we care about the person with whom we are talking. I fear that with all the pressure we feel today as teachers to raise test scores and to get our students to meet standards, it's all too easy to forget we must communicate to them in conferences how much we care about them." ~Carl Anderson, 2000 Face to Face Blogging Sharing: Conferring Ideas Email PLN's: Share the Wealth Buddies & Writing Mentors Sticky Notes Moodle Forums
