Manhattan GMAT Instructor Convocation
The 3rd Annual Manhattan GMAT Instructor Convocation took place this past weekend. Dozens of Instructors came from across the country (and Canada) to mingle and share best practices with some of the brightest teaching minds anywhere.
The topic of the afternoon was how to deal with students whose issues are not primarily content-related (i.e. understanding GMAT-tested concepts), but rather issues surrounding the test-taking experience (e.g. stress management). Some very interesting themes came out of the Convocation – we’re going to be compiling some of these ideas to help our Instructors coach students moving forward. Some good suggestions came up for us incorporate into our upcoming books. We’re also looking at putting together a series of essays that may be helpful directly to students as well. An essay will likely appear in this space.
The Convocation was then followed by a massive Company dinner and a party at the CEO’s apartment, so it wasn’t all work and no play. Perhaps there will be more pictures to come . . . 🙂
