Reflections on year one

You’re not giving someone a grade; they’re earning a grade.

Calibrating your teaching
  • Importance of setting expectations
  • Stressing the whys as you raise the level of challenge
  • Realize they aren’t likely to thank you during the process of being challenged
  • Bonni’s post: The Dip
  • Atherton J.S.’s post: Course of a course
  • Essentialism: The disciplined pursuit of less, by Greg McKeown
  • Determining what hours to have direct contact with students should be allowed
  • TextExpander  (Mac) |  Breevy (Windows)
    • Recommendations
