Extended essay supervisor meetings
Students are required by the IBO to meet with their supervisors during the EE construction process in order to successfully complete the EE and reflect on their work. The Millbrook EE Timeline requires the students to meet with their supervisors 7 times for approximately 20-30 minutes each over the course of the EE construction process.
Supervisor Meeting logistics
It is the responsibility of the student to contact the EE supervisor to schedule each meeting in a timely fashion so the meeting can be held during the required meeting window. The meetings will be held at a time convenient to the supervisor and the student (often during lunch, before or after school).
The student is expected to arrive at the meeting with required materials and prepared to address the specific topic of each meeting. If it is necessary to share the work to be discussed with the supervisor, it is the student's responsibility to do so.
The student is expected to conduct him/herself in a manner that is engaging and productive during the meeting, one that reflects an appropriate level of preparation for the meeting.

Meeting responsibilities
The supervisor's guidance and feedback are critical to the student's development during the EE construction process. Primary expectations are as follows:
- Read any shared materials as indicated by the student pertaining to the meeting discussion (annotated bibliography, outine, draft, etc) prior to the meeting
- Engage the student with questions that will allow the student to reflect on the work done and work needed to be done to move forward with the EE construction process. Click HERE for suggested questions for each meeting.
- Fill out and sign Supervisor Meeting Forms at the conclusion of each of the required meetings. The student will bring the form to the meeting and fill out their section first.
- Sign off on required Student Reflections.
