Conferences today. My mind is ready for a rest. I began at 10 am with a half hour conference and then went into the writing center to tutor for 2.5 hours before finishing off the day in my office with my class conferences. I must say--I really like conferencing. It gives me chance to talk one-on-one with my students. Lets me get into their heads, see what makes them tick, and to get a pulse on how they're viewing the class. On their own, most mentioned they're enjoying it--so I feel like I'm doing something right--even if only some of the time. Tutoring has been a helpful foundation for conferences--the practice of listening and then getting right to the point in a short time period. All is well....Out!
