Wondering: If I will be able to meet 1:1 with all the students during a week and stick to 10mins plan for 10 mins mini lesson.

This will help me to set goals for the next step.

One thing I want to try: I would like to try out the assessment worksheet, planning documents for mini lesson and strategy. I would also like to use pens in my classroom for writing.

One thing I'm still wondering: whether I could stick to delivering short mini lessons (plan for 10 mins, teach for 10 mins) ]]> 2021-07-09 12:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643282630 Anu https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643282744 One shift in thinking: The heart of the writing workshop is conferring.

1 thing excited to try the data collection piece for conferring amd weekly planning document
1 wondering would be how to modify some of the skills to suit the individualized goals for the ISP students]]> 2021-07-09 12:39:13 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643282747 Brittani https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643282761 One shift in thinking for me is that it doesn't have to be so difficult to plan for Writing Workshop!

One thing I want to try is an assessment checklist for my students.

1 shift in thinking is conferring can look like 1:1 or small group based on student need (not all students need 1:1)
1 thing I am still wondering about is what the lesson participation looks like that allows me to quickly assess who is understanding the mini lesson topic and who needs a sm group or 1:1]]> 2021-07-09 12:39:14 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643282762 SHIFT: making a weekly planner differentiating conferring and small groups easier than I thought. WONDER &HOPE all the information and learning will stick for me when I return to the classroom.

One thing I want to try is using pens for writing
One thing I'm still wondering is planning 10 mins for a 10 min session..can I stick to that

Implement/Try: Assessment for learning (I want to focus on strategies that give students all of the tools, but require their effort to build towards that skill)
Wonder: How do you keep the engagement together with older writers that are more grade driven than process and dont always want to connect with the way "writers" write.]]> 2021-07-09 12:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643282786 Cara https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643282787 Shift: The mini lesson is not the heart of the workshop
Try: Use the checklist to plan my mini lessons, 1:1 conferring and small groups
Wondering: Sticking to 10 minutes mini lessons and whether I can manage to meet with every student in class within a week in either small groups or 1:1]]> 2021-07-09 12:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643282787 Katrina https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643282842 One shift: You don't need to overwhelm yourself and your learner with lots of feedback in one conference.
Excited to try: Setting up the materials for the children to choose and use as they need (covid restrictions permitting)
one wondering: How long needs to be set aside to create the data sheet and how many versions are used throughout the year?]]> 2021-07-09 12:39:23 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643282842 Matt https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643282898 One shift in thinking - less is more. Don't try and do too much in mini-lessons and conferencing. Also, there are other resources besides UOS.
One thing I want to try - set up a folder with resources/templates etc. to better prepare and conduct conferences (especially on the spot conferencing that isn't planned)
One thing I am wondering - Should I always use the workshop model, or should I move to a more modelled and directed style of teaching if the lesson/students require it? (eg. the whole, or majority, of the class did not action a teaching point). ]]> 2021-07-09 12:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643282898 Divya https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643282904 One shift in thinking for me is that a minilesson should be really specific and focused on one thing.

One thing I want to try is ... providing a dedicated space where children chan choose different kinds of papers and writing tools

One thing I'm still wondering is... how much time in a day should the writing block be.
When a teacher is providing support and feedback to the child - when is it ok/not ok/never ok to write on the child's work.

I am introducing a skill and adding tools to my writers. Teaching 1 main point in the mini lessons and in conferences/small groups.

One thing I want to try: Being more intentional in my data collection, small group grouping, and conferencing --- based on the checklists!

Wondering: How best to split this work on conferencing/small groups work with all the teachers in the room (TA and ELL support). Also, a big part of the writing process in the early years seems to point at pictures. How do I help students who don't like to draw or add any illustrations?]]> 2021-07-09 12:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643282910 Denise https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643283035 1 Shift in Thinking- Plan out the week of conferences and small groups to ensure you see each student
Still Wondering- How to make all this work with Readers Workshop? Alternate days? Can you realistically do readers and writers workshop every day?

Thing to try - Using strategy groupings, planning whole class, 1:1, small group

Wondering - Thinking about how to plan for the week to focus on the needs of students so that clarity of learning leads to strong feedback]]> 2021-07-09 12:39:42 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643283051 Penny https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643283091 Shift in thinking: The mini lesson is meant to be MINI.
Thing I am excited about: using the conferring grid to collect data to inform my 1-1 conferring and planning small group strategy lessons.
Wondering: how to prioritise the conferring groups.

One think I want to try is using the progression in unit of study and in J.Serravallo to understand where my students are at with their writing.

One think I'm still wondering is creating data notes and using the data to plan mini lesson /1:1 conferences /small groups.]]> 2021-07-09 12:39:56 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643283211 Kristen https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643283414 Shift - importance of intentional planning of 1:1 and groups

Try - detailed records and plans for 1:1 and groups

Wondering - how to give grades through workshop model (not only published pieces)

One thing I want to try is allowing the children to dictate their next steps. ]]> 2021-07-09 12:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643283467 Rebecca https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643283581 One shift in thinking for me is- mini lessons are not for mastery, it is more like a "tip" for students.
One thing I want to try is- collect data more intentionally, create folders, and use the progression. ]]> 2021-07-09 12:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643283581 Alex. One shift in thinking for me is... that I can reduce the number of daily 1:1 conferences so I can address writer's needs better One thing I want to try is ...the formative teacher checklist to inform my planning One thing I'm still wondering is... the differentiation and the effective use of the limited time. https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643283609

One thing I want to try is... Using with our new aligned standards as skill progressions
One thing I am wondering... can elements be used in other grade levels too.]]> 2021-07-09 12:40:34 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643283738 Paula https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643284228 One shift is when assessing writing for learning look at the piece through one lense at a time- that will be helpful to narrow into the progressions and set the next "nudge"

One thing I want to try is using the progressions in my toolkit so I can refer to them easily]]> 2021-07-09 12:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643284228 Melissa Arias https://padlet.com/erinkentconsulting/IntroWritingWorkshop/wish/1643286577 melissa.arias@sais.edu.sg

It is more effective and efficient to focus on one teaching point than trying to cover multiple skills at once. Also, we don't have to rely on the UoS, we can modify according to what the students' need at the time, meet them where they are, and coach them so they can get in the next level where they should be.

Try: Creating my toolkits to be more organized and time-efficient.

Wondering: Grading students based on formative assessment data gathered or based on the progression chart.
