This was the first year I held actual class meetings and I loved them! I learned a lot about myself and my teaching style from the students. The group I had this year was brutally honest, which I didn’t mind. Through our class meetings we were able to build great relationships. We met at least once a month, maybe twice. We discussed issues in the classroom and outside of the classroom and we shared ways to fixed the things we had control over. Everything we discussed was student led. I gave them the opportunity to discuss anything they had on their mind. They did a nice job discussing issues that mattered. I enjoyed our class meetings and look forward to continuing them next year. It also helped that we had some built in time in our schedule (WIN/Seminar) that I could borrow 5-10 min. from for a class meeting.
