Hi Debbie, And what are they controlling? The place were the notebooks are kept? The lack of secrecy about what the teacher writes? I'm not sure about this part and so would love some ideas about what this looks like. Thanks, Elisa Waingort Calgary, Canada
The one thing that I can see the value of is the students having control of the notebooks. You know how good they are about that. If they have a Reading Workshop notebook and a place to keep it (and they aren't allowed to take it home) I know it will always be there. If we have them bring it to the conference and we write out observations, we will be able to use them later for assessment or parent conferences. I also think the stickers are a good idea, as long as I make enough, keep the original file and always have them on hand to make more. Debbie
