Teacher Talk: Collaborative Conversations About Second
Grade Readers
Would student achievement increase if I planned
my reading workshop with another colleague? Would our talk
about both of our students help us get a better handle on
the strategies each child controlled, and the strategies they
needed to refine in order to meet these standards? It is not
typical for teachers to work together in this way; to talk
about individual students, to make decisions together and
help teach each other's students. But I wondered if these
extra conversations would help both of us become better teachers
and help our students achieve higher levels.
