Here are my "top 10 so far." I need to keep adding.
Reading further articles on conferencing is beginning to add some depth to these.
1. Ask students what is most helpful thing for teacher to do for you in a conference.
2. Conferences are not for fixing the student’s work. Revise my relationship with the student. It is their work, not mine.
3. Put the student in charge of the revising process.
4. Give 1 direction and define it.
5. Students go away from conference, filter everything, keep what is “them”
I love your number 3. What a good idea for all of us to remember, even though it can be hard to not take over.. at least for me.
