In class brainstorm:
The anxiety from my first meeting compared to now. I feel like I have been able to expect what to walk into more and more as the class has continued. This is based upon the meetings I have had AND the classes I have attended
the preparation part on my end before the meetings. In the beginning I would go into them with nothing and kind of see where the conversation led us. As I have done more meetings, I now try to write some notes before hand that I can refer to if the conversation goes sideways or as a guideline on a specific topic they’re asking for help with.
The idea of trying not to take it personal. In the beginning I was very transfixed on trying to get them to meet with me and be a helpful presence in the classroom. And when I found myself unable to do that or the students were unable, I was down on myself. Over time, I have realized that I can only help so much. If I give them the proper resources to receive help, the student must pull their weight and meet me there.
