Conferencing

The English Department put together a few videos of our teachers' conferences with students. It's one thing to hear that the English Department at Staples is built around the idea of revision and one-on-one conferences with students over their papers, but it's quite another to see it in action. Having time to work closely with a student really allows you to troubleshoot in a very particular, specific way. Even more importantly, it allows you to highlight students successes and strengths so they can branch out and expand. There were three videos shown to the Board of Education at their April 4 meeting, and I'm including them here.
