Now that you know who your PEBLs will be, you need to figure out when you will be meeting with them. Weekly 1-on-1 meetings should start the week of September 25th.
You are welcome to schedule your 1-on-1 meetings in whatever way works best for you, but here is what past GEMs have recommended:
- Create a poll (e.g., Doodle, WhenIsGood) listing times when you know you will be available every week
- Send the poll to your PEBLs and ask them to select all of the times when they know that they will be available every week
- Once they have all responded, figure out when you want to have your meetings keeping the following things in mind:
- It will be easiest to manage your own schedule if you group your PEBL meetings in blocks rather than having them spread throughout the week
- Allow yourself time between the 10 minute meetings (take however much time you need to prepare for your next meeting plus at least 5 minutes for things like meetings that run over and bathroom breaks)
- After you have decided when your meetings will be, contact Caitlin Coggins (coggi22c@mtholyoke.edu) and give her a list of times when you will need a space to hold your meetings
- When Caitlin sends you the room bookings, email each PEBL to let them know when you will be meeting and where
- Once you have scheduled your meetings, please add them to the MaGE 1-on-1 Meetings Google Calendar.
