<p>Much needed reminders. What I've learned and what I will do differently are subsumed in the following take-aways: 1) Don't interrupt--for do so might mean that you are not listening attentively or with a mind to make meaning of the speakers thoughts and ideas. Whatever I'm thinking--if it's valueable--will come back to mind; and 2) Calm down enough (when activated) to avoid offering "constructive critiques", which will always sound judgemental if not tempered on the front end of the remarks. This time is a perfect way to keep silent, allowing the student to share.&#160;</p>
