I noticed the affect the workshop model had on a small class I had last trimester. One student in particular made such great strides in his work, and I could see the influence this success had in his belief in his abilities. Following the structure helped him and others focus on the specific work for that day. I also think reflecting on the progress they made, using conferring as a way to talk about their improvement, allowed them to verbalize and listen to themselves talk about their success. After seeing this one student grow over the trimester, and moreso his pride in his work, I’m definitely going to continue to use the workshop model and conferring with students about their progress. It was incredibly beneficial and I’m really looking forward to using this in my new seminars.
