The Conferring All-Star Teacher™ only opens to new members twice a year, in January and August. But sometimes we let Early Birds in…well… early and I don't want you to miss it. Want to join? Click below and I'll remind you as soon as doors open.
I hear you loud and clear! I encourage you to believe it's possible to reach all of your learners and dream BIG, because you can make it all happen. Wait a minute, do I hear a “BUT” coming on? But Desiree…
There isn't enough time in my schedule,
It's a struggle to keep my students engaged,
They are soooo needy,
Many of my students are at different levels and it's hard to group them together.
It's challenging to manage it all— conferring time and independent work all at the same time.
Teacher Life can be lonely sometimes. Especially if you are the only teacher in your grade level, or maybe you have a team but you don't see eye to eye. And your school might not have an instructional coach on staff. Well you don't have to figure out this conferring thing all on your own.
I'm excited to create an exclusive community where our most dedicated and driven teachers can connect, encourage and challenge one another. Our best teacher ideas can come from friends and connections. Think of our All-Star Community has a homebase where literacy teachers can help, encourage and empower one another in their conferring journeys!
Courses teach the content, Conferring All-Star Teacher™ shows you how to apply the knowledge to real life classroom situations. This is your opportunity to shadow me and be my virtual literacy teacher teammate.
Watch me launch routines, plan who I'm going to meet with during conference or small group, choose reading and writing strategies, tweak my conferring schedule to fit the needs of my students, use strategies to build engagement and independence, introduce student-led activities, make mistakes and find solutions.
This is the part I love the most about the Conferring All-Star Teacher™. It's where I (Desiree) get to prioritize my time and my teaching. I love having an intentional place to connect with our most dedicated and motivated teachers! Whether it's answering your personal questions face to face on our monthly Q & A calls or helping you find solutions to issues you share in our community, I'm making this part of our online education my focus! I'm thrilled to have the freedom to create and teach in new and inspiring ways!
Your conferring journey is YOUR journey. This is not a one-and-done kind of thing. Starting, launching, and implementing conferences and small groups is a journey. Some may be at different places on that journey — from those who are just started out to those who have been conferring for many years.
The most successful literacy teachers who implement conferences and small groups daily all have a few things in common, a firm foundation, a community that supports them, and a step-by-step proven plan to follow.
And that's exactly what is waiting for you inside of the Conferring All-Star Teacher™.
Whenever you feel like conferring with students is impossible because there isn't enough time in your schedule, it's a struggle to keep my students engaged, they are soooo needy, or it's challenging to manage it all— you'll have a supportive community to lean on for strategies and encouragement to keep going. And you'll have me, your guide and biggest cheerleader routing for you and reminding to never give up and BELIEVE.

To meet with your students consistently in conferences and small groups, you will need a classroom full of engaged and independent readers and writers. Plus, when you build a community of learners who want to help and support their friends and want to try new reading and writing skills; that makes conferring and peer learning so much easier to manage.

Choose the PD or resources that matter to you the most from our exclusive library that unlocks the 1st week of every month.
Instead of only learning from slides and PDF's, shadow Desiree and get a behind the scenes look into her classroom and microschool.
Download a teacher tool that will help you successfully implement what you learn inside of the Behind the Scenes training.
Implementation, asking questions, taking action and applying what you've learned will help your students see far greater success.
No matter where you are on the Conferring All-Star Teacher™ Journey, the FIRST WEEK OF EVERY MONTH, you can choose additional training and/or resources from our exclusive Teacher Library that match where you are on your conferring journey.
When done right and consistently, the workshop model is a great way to reach and grow every student because conferences and small group time is already built into the schedule. So, if you use reading or writing workshop; you'll definitely want to unlock this training and resources.
Conferring is where the magic happens and is your vehicle to reach and grow every student. Using a variety of conferring methods, not just one, is key to guiding your students towards their goals. So, inside of the Teacher Library is training on the 3 CORE Conferring Methods: Compliment, Coaching, and Strategy Groups.
Remember without engagement, we have nothing. If your readers and writers are not engaged or independent, it's going to be even more challenging to follow through with that conferring schedule you mapped out. So, I created a mini class and engagement tools to help you build that engagement fast.
Morning Meeting is an engaging way to start each day, build a strong sense of community, and set children up for success socially and academically.
It also provides a sense of trust, encourages respectful learning, and boosts empathy and teamwork. These are all skills that will help conferring and student-led activities run more smoothly.
Closing Circle is another great way to build that positive community that is need for conferring to be successful. It is a way to peacefully wrap up the day and send your learners off feeling a sense of accomplishment and belonging. It brings a sense of calm and safety to everyone, including you.
What if…your students were in charge of their own reading and writing lives? Instead of ONLY learning from you, they taught themselves and learned from their peers? Empowering your students to teach with you by inviting them to lead instruction is such an amazing feeling. Plus, you'll significantly increase the number of meetings your students have because now conferring time isn't solely reliant on you to teach the strategies. Win-win for everyone.
