I also have a community agreement/class expectations at the start of class, but run it with all the students present. Do you find it better to ask the students in advance individually?

I too am thinking of how to incorporate SMART goals into the start of the semester (it’s part of my marketing class, but not until the third week).

I make the students a part of the learning process by creating an agreement with them. This is where as a team, we set the expectations in the classroom by laying down the groundwork for the semester. Building up trust with myself is…[Read more]

I just changed office hours to student drop-in hours on my syllabus. I also created a link that students can use to book a 1×1 with me via the Microsoft scheduling tool.

I encouraged students to reach out, but they only scheduled time when I asked them to meet with me about their progress.

Although the process can be frustrating and painful, struggling and growing are part of l…[Read more]
