3 weeks before the EDD
-
Finalize meeting dates
-
- Prepare schedules and create calendar events to help you keep track.
-
Decide on communication/support methods and create student spaces
-
- There are many methods to choose from, including Facebook groups, email lists, group messaging apps, snail mail, and many more.
-
- Consider whether the communication will be one-way, chat-style, or even a mix of both!
-
- Students thrive when they are supported in groups and individually.
-
Prepare any information handouts/newsletters for students
-
- Connecting your students to a standard communication method makes your life (and theirs) easier. Facebook groups are great for this – you can remind them of the start date, give some book requirements, set up meeting schedules, group chats, etc.
