Scheduling 1-on-1s with Your PEBLs

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:

  1. Create a poll (e.g., Doodle, WhenIsGood) listing times when you know you will be available every week
  2. 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
  3. 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)
  4. 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
  5. When Caitlin sends you the room bookings, email each PEBL to let them know when you will be meeting and where
  6. Once you have scheduled your meetings, please add them to the MaGE 1-on-1 Meetings Google Calendar.
