Yet another Linky - unusual for me, I know, but I was planning a "Back to School Goals" post already before I saw this and it was the perfect lead-in! If you want to join in, scoot on over to I {heart} Recess.
Personal - As I mentioned in my "Currently August" post, I am a recent C25K grad about to run my first race! I've really been enjoying running, so I want to make sure I keep up with it. I've been worried that going back to school might throw off my routine and/or dedication; I'm just going to have to establish a new routine that includes both work and running!
Organization - Every year I make one or two "New School Year Resolutions." The past couple of years one of them has been to make sure my desk is completely clear (meaning things are put away, where they belong, not stuffed in a drawer!) before leaving each day, and it has made a HUGE difference! This year I have a much longer commute, so in case there are any delays in the morning I want to make sure that everything is ready to go for the next day before I leave each day. I've always been really big on getting to work extra early each day (especially when I was coaching and staying after was not an option!) to set everything up and get caught up on grading, etc, but again with the commute I don't want to leave anything to chance!
Planning - My planning goal is stay at least one full unit ahead in each prep this year: activities, copies, supplemental materials, props, the whole sh-bang!
Professional - I have a lot of ideas for maintaining regular parent communication this year. I've done pretty well at staying in contact with parents in the past about their kids' performance, but with so much technology available now there are some things I want to try out to keep them informed about what's actually being accomplished in class. And after last semester I am completely in love with Remind101 and so I will definitely be implementing it for parents and students from the very beginning this year!
Students - My goal for my students is that they feel safe in my class and look forward to my class. This is an annual one, because of course how can they learn if those two things do not hold true? In some of my classes we have some pretty intense discussions (child development = conception is one that springs to mind) that require mutual respect across the room to be successful.
Motto - Make it awesome! If you still haven't seen Kid President's Pep Talk, watch it right now! My message to my students this year is that they have the choice to make their time awesome, or to make it boring. Awesome definitely seems preferable to me!
Regular goal setting is important for everyone, and if we start early with the kids and make it fun, it can become a habit for life. Many schools now run through a goal setting exercise at the beginning of every school year and school term, with regular reviews along the way. I would be happy to share this with my academic students who come to seek professional help in personal statement from me at Personal Statement Folks. School is back in session and a new year means a new opportunity for teachers and students to start goal setting for a successful year.

DeleteThanks for sharing such an amazing post on back to goals worksheet including personal, organization, planning, professional, students and motto for rest of school days. Effective goal-setting needs a little something more. I have a close friend who provides Professional CV help at CV Folks with me, and she encouraged me to create “action plans” and “action items” for each goal I want to achieve but Students can create action plans for fun and relaxation, too.
DeleteWhen we were students, often the last week of school was expended viewing videos and goofing around. We loved every minute of it, but looking back, it’s easy to see that this was not a creative use of our time. Since I am Quality assignment help - http://www.qualityassignment.co.uk/ writer. As a my opinion to keep students interested and self-reflective, we like to have them complete goal-setting worksheets through the year but you can surely implement them at any point in the semester, even if you only have a few weeks left of school.
DeleteTo keep students inspired and self-reflective, we like to have those complete goal-setting worksheets during the year—but you can definitely implement them at any point in the semester, even if you only have a few weeks left of school. I always motivate students who are not worried about their academic writing tasks and thinking of taking assignment help from the Elite Assignment Help, to try their educational tasks by themselves if needed they can take a guidance from the experts of their college still they got stuck then hire online writers. You can do the same, or of course you can set some goals with the kids yourself at home.

ReplyDelete"My goal for my students is that they feel safe in my class and look forward to my class" - This is a great goal! If students feel safe and are looking forward to class, they will definitely become more open and will become better and better at studying and will learn more and more every day.
