Teaching writing can be complicated but I think the idea of student writing conferences is even more so. Guest Whitney from Learning with Crayons will show us just how we can take away the overwhelm and get started.

Whitney holds two master's degrees and has a lifelong love of learning. She is also currently still in the classroom starting her eleventh year of teaching and has a 1/2 combo class.

In today's episode we talk about:

• Whitney's writing system
• Why starting with reading rough drafts is important
• Are goals necessary in writing conferences
• Having writing partners
• Fitting in writing conferences
• Helping struggling writers who don't know what they wrote
• Should you keep a conference log
