Reading and Writing Workshop are the cornerstones of my teaching practice. Students learn reading and writing strategies and then set specific goals to work towards on their own. While the strategies are taught whole group, it is within one to one/ face to face conferences with each student, when we reflect together on their strengths and challenges as readers and writers, that I am most able to help my students set realistic, concrete goals for themselves.
With an iPad pro and built in keyboard, students will be able to have more accurate records of their reading and writing history available as we plan together to plan their immediate and long term goals and chart their progress.As their teacher, I will be able to post notes directly, and more importantly, share a student's self-observations and progress with them each time we meet. Ongoing informal formative assessment and student accountability are key to my students' progress, and these tools will allow me to do both of these things more efficiently.
