Hey Angela,
Great post, as usual! I will be using an incident report next year, but wanted to share something that worked really well with stuff I didn't have time to hear that students really wanted to tell me. I bought one of those little digital recorders and taught the whole class how to use it. I named him "Bob" and told them that Bob often has ears that are willing to listen to things they want me to know that I may not have time to hear if we are busy (this worked great for common tattling) and that Bob would tell me later. They each practiced telling Bob something so they could get the hang of the technology, then I showed them that Bob lived on my desk with a helpful reminder next to him (name, date, problem) of what to say. We discussed good times vs. bad times to "Tell Bob" and it worked out. Anyway, I'm going to try the incident report next year and maybe find a way to tie it in with Bob! Thanks again for another good post and helpful document!
