My Writing Teacher Goals
Angela Redden got me thinking about all of my goals for the upcoming school year. I thought this would be a brilliant place for me to articulate my writerly goals, so here goes.
1. To streamline my conference record-keeping for Writing Workshop. (My Reading Conference notes have always been great, but for some reason I cannot seem to invent the perfect tool for keeping track of conferences. I pitched an idea to ReallyGoodStuff, but I’ve yet to hear back from their product designers. Manufacturing it myself would be way too expensive!)
2. I want to have at least one student share a piece of his/her notebook writing daily at Morning Meeting. (Wouldn’t this be a lovely “share” daily?) I will include myself in each “share cycle.”
3. I hope to make publishing parties more about the publishing and less about the party. (No more chips and soda this year.)
I think that’s enough in terms of writing goals.
What do you hope to accomplish this year as a teacher of writing?
i think teacher goal not only teach and educate your student but also modeling your student to do everything useful for people around them

I would love the rubric. What all do your students include in their notebooks? I just read Ralph Fletcher’s book and I got some great ideas. I was just curious to what other teachers do.
Excellent goals! I need to make my own up now!

Great goals, Stacey! I’m still working on mine. As soon as they start to materialize in my mind, I will post them. Thanks for inspiring me to share my goals.
Good luck streamlining your conference record-keeping.
Yes, having a student read each day is very lovely.
