Making Changes to Groups

[eileen.barker]

I am trying to make sure I use "flexible grouping." That being said, is there a way to edit (or move) students in and out of groups, and still keep the data from the group conferring for the group they moved out of? Last time I adjusted my groups, I just archived the old ones and created new groups. I do hate to keep doing that, though, as I would like to keep my groups fluid, and that makes it harder to look at the data for a child.

My first thought was, "I think you can . . .", so I went to try it out.

I made two groups of three with one of the 3 kids in both groups. After I wrote trial conf notes for each group, I noted that the notes from both groups show up on her page. Then I went back to groups and deleted her name from one of them.

Going back to her individual page, I was able to see the group notes taken in both.

Lastly, I could add her back and see notes from when she was previously in the group. The notes I took when I had deleted did not show up, which was just what I wanted to see

So... I think that's the a way to do what you're asking. Just make sure to "save" on the group edit page.

There are lots of tutorials for the CCPensieve at http://www.ccpensieve.com/tutorials.php

Hope this helps!!

Thanks! That is a big help. Better than "archiving" all the time.
