Gots: I loved the chart with the side-by-side comparison of guided reading, strategy groups, and word study groups (this seems really helpful for G2!)

Wants: I want to take time myself to go through the Phonics Small Group book and use that to help structure some of the small groups I do with my kids.

Got- The idea of groups not having to "be done the right way" and instead really focusing on what students need to move forward

want- other tools that might be helpful to have in a guided reading toolkit

Got - I love the text complexity cards! They are such a useful resource to guide conferences!

Want - I am interested in learning a little more about how to balance some of the Science of Reading practices with the workshop format. There's SO much to learn when it comes to Science of Reading (it's pretty overwhelming!) but I think there is merit to it especially when it comes to helping our language learners succeed as readers :) I think the small group phonics book will be great to look into together, as well!

Colleen- you are AMAZING! Thank you so much for sharing this information today to help prioritize and plan for student needs within workshop. Our takeaway is having a strategic plan for readers workshop with conferences and small groups with some "on the run" time.

We also found the phonics plan template to be really helpful and useful. The table of contents to the phonics small group book has such good stuff! 🍻

# data[].attributes.body
Most Helpful: The week-long calendar with a realistic 4-day plan (instead of 5!) LOVE IT! I loved digging in the Phonics Small Groups books as well

Dive Into Next Time: Maybe more tools on how to track data efficiently? Perhaps this is more of an individual thing I need to work on, but I feel like I have lots of resources and places that I collect student data, but I could improve on synthesizing that data.

When and how are snap words used purposefully in the classroom? When are they taken off of the word wall? How do students/teachers monitor and checkin with individual student snap word pouches? What are the best tips for this.

What is your preference on writing with a pen vs a pencil for writers workshop?

# data[].attributes.body
+Got - It's so helpful to have those reminders that our instruction is responsive to our learners' needs at the time - "flexible routines, not rigid schedules" (a little tip I learned when it comes to baby sleep that fits well with teacher life, too!)
+Got - I appreciate the ideas for how we can bring the science of reading into our balanced literacy instruction - it's not one or the other!

THANK YOU for a great session! :)

Got: Great reflection on small groups in phonics, and it was awesome to hear other people's experiences, too.

Want: I need to spend more time going through the template for tools for data collection, and work towards tailoring a tool (or tools) to meet my needs and help with tracking and organizing student data.

# data[].attributes.body
Gots: We (Amanda & Deanna) loved the idea of using the checklist to look for key learning ideas. We think this is really helpful for moving the learning forward with small groups and being able to use data to meet student needs. It's a clear and easy way to determine the strengths and needs.

Wants:
We have really appreciated all the tools given and feel our next step is organizing it all and putting it into practical use. We are not sure of where our next focus is after that.

# data[].attributes.body
It's helpful to choose a lens to look through during our conferences and use that lens to help create the most effective data collection tools. (The learning progression charts are really helpful in determining what our students should be able to do!) Simplifying our tools to match the key learning ideas makes it so much less overwhelming!

I look forward to putting these tools to use and hearing how conferring and small group planning/execution is going for everyone else! I'm so thankful for a space to share our thinking and experiences together :)

When it comes to assessing readers...

I want to remember...to circle back to strategies taught and set the stage for my readers to be successful.

I'm going to try...to plan according to my data- planning with intention. I also would like to provide more opportunities for checking in.

I'm still wondering about...how I can fit it all in (during instruction & time for planning)

# data[].attributes.body
- I want to remember....
* Less is more. Focus on key learning goals
- I'm going to try ...
* Including more small groups to informally assess students
* Giving students more opportunities to self-assess
- I'm still wondering about...
* Best ways to track data efficiently and equitably

Assessing Readers...
...that informal running records are super important.
...to be better planned and have more stop and Check-ins with my readers
....how I can fit it all in and feel my own self success
Using Data for feedback...
...to use my running record data in a more successfully
...creating a plan and sticking to it
...using my time more productively

When it comes to using data to give feedback...

I'm going to try...to use my data to plan conferring and small groups that are intentional.

I want to be intentional about...adding in shared reading and interactive writing according to student needs.

I'm going to refine... student anchor chart practices.
