 * === This is a management system I have used for years and I have seen teachers use it successfully with students from Year 0 - 8. ===

The teacher is able to see very easily who is at each stage of the chart.
=== This does work well but some students take longer than others to 'get' how to organise themselves. Assign a buddy! === || === Along side the above management system I run my choices board for Drafting, Conferencing and Publishing. === === Students can choose how they Draft, what they would like to do while waiting to conference and finally how they would like to publish after discussion with me. === ||

 * === These are some of the choices for drafting, I place a number beside them to show students how many people can be drafting in that style. === || === I always have some type of self management tracking sheet for the students. This is where they identify each week what choices they have made. This helps me in several ways ===
 * === I can identify the student's learning style ===
 * === I can see how they like to learn ===
 * === I can plan further activities around the likes and dislikes === ||

 * === While I am conferencing with students I do not like to have other students waiting for me in a line or nearby. I like them to be busy and engaged in some other learning activity. That is why I am a great fan of Learning Centres . Again I cater for all learning styles and interests, that is why you will see science, technology, art, music, reading and writing activities as part of the Conferencing choices. In this way I can never have a student say to me that they have nothing to do and there will always be something they can do that interests them. === || === Again I have some type of self management tracking sheet for the students.

Without a laptop...
=== An anecdotal book. (an exercise book with two pages side by side for each student) === === Make notes on how the students are progressing, their choices for learning and any other anecdotal evidence. ===

Use a Google Spreadsheet in the same way
