The College of Education recently hosted a Planner Party to provide students with support, supplies, and good company from classmates as they organized their assignments and personal schedules for the semester. With popcorn and iced tea for sustenance, upper class students shared planning tips and tricks with attendees. A wide range of students attended including College of Education Ambassadors and members of Wreck 'Em Teach, the College of Education student organization. Both of these programs promote community within the College of Education and students seeking mentorship opportunities, volunteer events, and further group meet-ups are invited to sign up for Wreck 'Em Teach using this link: https://ttu.campuslabs.com/engage/submitter/form/start/642703

ICYMI: Tips from Our Students on Perfect Planning

  • "Don't write the same information in multiple planners." -Amelia X.
  • "Understand your class flow before planning." -Mayli M.
  • "Color coding helps me keep track of my classes." -Hannah E.
  • "Learn Google Sheets/Excel for organization AND if you are student using 240, Goodnotes is a great tool to use to build a digital journal." -Danni E.
  • "Phone alerts and automatic emails will help keep you on schedule." -Ben K.
  • "Sticky notes are everywhere! If I have something important coming up, I plaster sticky notes on my walls at home, on my mirror, even digitally on my desktop." -Bri S.

Students left the Planner Party with supplies of pens, stickers, and new knowledge to help them keep organized throughout the fall semester. Keep an eye out for announcements about upcoming events and our next Planner Party in January!
