CCPensieve, is now ConferringNotebook, we’re glad you’re here! Welcome to the features page—we hope you find what you’re looking for. If there's anything we can help you with, please send us a message!

Spend less time organizing,
and more on what you do best,
TEACHING.

We know you don’t want to spend time worrying about where and how to store your conferring notes. You’re the teacher, and you want to teach and spend time with your students. That’s why we built tools to get you conferring everyday, help inform instruction, and progress students more quickly.

Conferring Notes

Save conferring notes—including a goal and strategy, observations, and next steps—for a student or a group of students. Choose between multiple subject options.

Record sessions to inform instruction

Increase student accountability by declaring a goal and strategy; and increase teacher accountability by documenting student learning, teaching, and next steps.

Comes pre-populated with the CAFE Menu goals and strategies (including behavior). Select one or more in a single conferring session with the option to write-in your own.

Daily Check-In

Record student choices before each round of Daily 5 and Math Daily 3 to monitor student activity and increase accountability.

Save choices for the pre-populated Daily 5 and Math Daily 3 choices. No typing needed, just press a button.

When saving more than one session in one day, it displays what choices each student has already selected for that day.

Automatically displays check-in data from the past 7 days, or view past choices by selecting a date range.

Classroom Features

Within your virtual ConferringNotebook classroom are your students and groups. Each student and group has their own page which stores their past conferring notes, separated by subject. Each can be shared, archived and students can be transferred. Read more below.

Real-time Student and Group Sharing*

Build curricular coherence among colleagues. Share a student with any teacher who confers with them and has a ConferringNotebook Premium account. Sharing allows each teacher to be virtually part of each teaching session. Once conferring notes are saved, they become available for all other teachers who share the student or group.

Student and Group Archiving

Archive students and groups so they no longer show up in your main class list—yet they’re not deleted in case you want to see the data in the future.

Student Transferring*

Students can be transferred to another ConferringNotebook user (i.e. at the end of the year, if a teacher leaves, etc.) so they have full editing privileges and are able to view all past conferring sessions.

* Premium membership benefit
