Group and Individual data

#1

I have just started recording information for kids in strategy groups.

Is there a way to see the group and individual information together on the Keeping Track, Conferring and pdf printouts? I was hoping that:

  • touchpoints would accumulate, whether from individual or group sessions
  • Keeping Track would show that they had either an individual or group session
  • when I print a pdf it includes both group and individual information for that student

In my class, Touchpoints that show up are from the individual sessions. I will check about touchpoints given during group sessions.

In Keeping Track, both kinds of sessions show up–the Individual Sessions appear first, and if you scroll down, you’ll see the group sessions.

When you print a pdf, you can include both group and individual sessions–you have to click the dates in the individual sessions at the top, and scroll down to click on the group sessions you want to include. Both will appear on the same pdf.

Hope this helps–I’ll get back with you about the touchpoints for sure. Let me know if you have any further questions. This tool is so powerful, and the developers are working to make it even more powerful!!

Thanks for your reply! I can only see touchpoints from individual sessions; it would be great if the touchpoints from group sessions were able to be linked in, as the goals are often the same.

I sent the inquiry to the developers, and will let you know what I hear!!

Thanks! That would be great.

I just heard from Emily at the CCPensieve. She confirmed that that individual and group Touch Points are separate. However, they will take your thoughts into consideration for future updates.

Just a thought . . . you could make a note in the individual conferring spot that you gave them a touchpoint during a group session, and keep track that way.

Let us know if you have any further questions. The CCPensieve is such a great tool, isn’t it?
