The time has come to begin our block scheduling. This week, we only meet twice, and the hours in which we meet vary. I hope you have all notified your employers to adjust your work schedules (if necessary) and are ready for longer class periods.
This week, I have used a few of your suggestions from Wednesday's presentations for class activities (every time I read this sentence, it never sounds right, so I hope you understand what I'm saying). On Tuesday, we'll take time to reach out to potential interviewees for your Interview With an Industry Professional, complete three PLP activities, and discuss Mock Interview Competition preparation. On Friday, we'll watch some videos about proper interview techniques, work on what an interviewer looks for in different interview questions, and role play answering challenging interview questions, as well as blog about our first week of block scheduling. By articulating how the change in schedule has affected your sleep schedule (I know some of you have late arrival or early dismissal), your work schedule, and some things you found to be positive and negative about your experience. We will revisit this entry when block scheduling ends and you'll re-assess your feelings about the experience to see if anything has changed (moderately or drastically).
Since most of these assignments were suggestions you provided in your presentations, I will rely on you to structure and frame them as needed. If I feel you need some more guidance, I'll be glad to add my two cents, but you should be able to organize and run your activities on your own. I look forward to working with you this week. See you all on Tuesday!
