Collaborative Conferences (DVD)

During collaborative conferences, teachers observe a lesson or conference and provide explicit feedback on the teaching and learning interaction. Collaborative conferences use a team approach (with two or more teachers) to support student learning. During the pre-conference, the student's teacher identifies the instructional goal and asks the observing teachers to notice specific writing behaviors. After the lesson, the teachers engage in purposeful dialogue that aligns with the observation focus. This Close-Up features three conferences: a group of teachers observe a third-grade teacher during a writing conference with a student; a third-grade teacher and a language specialist discuss the revising process of a student served by both teachers; a similar conference occurs between a fourth-grade teacher and a literacy coach, who is also serving as an intervention specialist for the student. Collaborative conferences allow teachers to pool their knowledge and engage in focused dialogues for improving their students' writing.
