Group, I'd like to play devil's advocate for a second. Conferring is, absolutely, the most effective way to "measure" understanding. It has worked for me and countless others for years. Why? The best way to measure understanding of any concepts, be it reading, math, science, etc. is to ASK. It really is that simple. Talking with a child, not just talking to. Prompting and guiding, but asking the child to lead. Listening - not barraging with questions. However, what is a possible response for a supervisor or principal (just examples of who might ask) that might want more evidence than a conference note. I have run into many times where a conference note, even a series of them over time, is not deemed "worthy." Dig in our heels and be secure in our knowledge of what's best? Give in and pass out BCR's? What does everyone think?
