Our approach to teaching and learning using evidence-based practice.
The complete guide for one-on-one conferring. Know what to say, what to record, and how to organize your notes so every conference leads to student growth.
You’ve built independence in your classroom. Now comes the next question:
What do I do with my students one-on-one?”
Conferring is one of the most powerful teaching practices—but also one of the most overwhelming. Teachers ask:
Without a system, conferring feels confusing. But when you have the right framework, it becomes the most rewarding part of your teaching.
Personalized Teaching → Meet students exactly where they are.
Accountability → Regular check-ins drive ownership and responsibility.
Relationships → Every conference strengthens trust and connection.
Impact → One-on-one feedback is one of the most powerful teaching strategies available.
Conferring is only possible when students are independent. With the Independence Framework in place, this toolkit unlocks the next level of teaching impact.
Your students are engaged in meaningful independent work. You sit beside one learner, notebook in hand, and have a focused, two-minute conversation that sparks growth.
By the end of the week, you’ve connected with every student, tracked progress, and built stronger relationships—all without extra prep time.
That’s the power of the conferring, the Conferring Toolkit will get you there.
Learning as a team makes new systems even more powerful. You can purchase multiple licenses in a single checkout, then assign them to team members directly from your member account after your purchase. It’s simple, flexible, and perfect for schools, districts, or teams looking to get everyone on the same page.
Every license receives discussion guides and success criteria checklists with this package. These tools are essential because they provide clarity, ensure consistency, and support reflection and growth. Most of all, they turn theory into action and bridge the gap between learning and doing.
Paying with a purchase order? No problem, email it directly to us at [email protected], and we’ll take care of the rest.
For two decades, we (Gail Boushey and Teach Daily) have been at the forefront of teaching conferring in classrooms. We’ve guided thousands of teachers through effective conferring practices within Daily 5, CAFE, and Prepared Classroom, helping students become independent, confident learners.
In 2012, we pioneered the digital Conferring Notebook, giving teachers an easy, practical way to track student growth and make conferring manageable and shareable amongst colleagues. Since then, we’ve seen first-hand the transformative impact conferring has on students—from improved reading and writing skills to stronger critical thinking, engagement, and confidence.
With the Conferring Toolkit, you’re not just getting resources, you’re tapping into decades of experience, proven strategies, and tools designed to make conferring work in real classrooms. Whether you’re new to conferring or looking to elevate your practice, we provide the guidance, structure, and insights that only expansive classroom experience can deliver.
You’ll learn how to confer with confidence, build stronger relationships with your students, and make every conference matter.
The Independence Framework shows you exactly how to teach independence—step by step—so students know what to do, how to do it, and how to sustain their learning when you're not right next to them.
Your all-access pass to research-backed, ready-to-use resources that make teaching more effective and more joyful.
At Teach Daily, we provide effective teaching methods and resources so any teacher can learn how to build the skills and confidence to recognize and meet the needs of all their students—daily.
