CONFERENCES UNLOCKED TOOLKIT

This awkward situation has played out a few times… 😅

A student sits down beside your desk to conference about writing.

You look at their Google Doc, and it’s riddled with errors. The typos are out of this world and there is no organization. 🙃

You don’t even know where to begin. Do you -

👉 Start highlighting all the errors?

👉 Let the student guide the conversation?

👉 Stare at the essay till you find a way out of the mess?TBH, I’ve done all three. 😂

Heck, one time I looked a student dead in the eye and said, “Looks great!” and sent them back to their desk. I had no idea where to start.

I eventually figured out is the traditional way of hosting conferences kind of blows. Taking a more casual approach works best. And having a template to guide you is a lifesaver.

That’s where the Conferences Unlocked Toolkit comes in handy.
