In his book Conferring: The Keystone of Reader’s Workshop, Allen argues that the benefits of conferring outweigh the challenges and that teachers must put forth the effort of learning how to do it well.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Patrick is the youngest of ten children--five boys and five girls. My parents were wonderful role models of literacy and learning, hard work, and humility, he says. His mother was a cook and owned a restaurant, and his father, a bricklayer by trade, helped run the restaurant and served as a night cop in their hometown. I became a teacher because I enjoy learning and spending time with kids. My parents were always learning and encouraged all of us to get our education. From the time I was a little boy, I wanted to teach. Patrick received his bachelor's degree in communications disorders and his graduate certification in elementary education from the University of Northern Colorado. He received his master's degree in curriculum, instruction, and pedagogy with a mathematics and science emphasis from the University of Colorado at Denver. He is currently a teacher at Frontier Valley Elementary School and a staff developer/lab classroom teacher at the Public Education and Business Coalition. He has over twenty years of teaching experience. Patrick is intrigued by the process learners go through as they become thinkers. I love helping children develop their passions. I am always trying to hone my craft and welcome the challenges that professional inquiry brings to my learning and the classroom. He believes that for effective professional development, participants have to understand their own learning process and make professional growth as authentic as possible. Patrick and his wife, Susan, love spending time with their four children: Graham, Anneke, Jens, and Lauryn. He says, My busy family certainly puts parenting to the test, but it's the best test of all!
