School Year Goals

Summer is nearing its close, and now I'm finding myself setting school year goals. Committing these goals to a blog post helps me to stay focused and also elicits feedback which is both instructional and encouraging thus helping me to achieve, revise and refine the goals as I move along. If you read my blogs, you know the tech world creates the "kid in a candy store" dilemna for me. Because there's always so much to learn and so many possibilities, I continually need to prioritize and set goals. I'm also well aware of those goals I meet and the ones that lay dormant waiting for greater motivation or a better approach (more on that at a later time).

For now, here are my goals for the school year:

1. Teaching Excellence


2. Balance


3. Contributions to School, System and Greater Education Community (to be refined upon start of school year w/respect to school and system-wide efforts, vision, initiatives)


• Providing Tech Workshops


• School Council


• System-Wide Literacy Institute Presentation


4. Professional Development/Learning:


• Continued Technology Investigation via Internet, Conferences, Edcamps


• RTI Focused on Reading Instruction (Reading The Daily Five and The Cafe).


• Action Based Research Focus on Math Instruction (if grant is awarded)


• Continued Curriculum Development, Revision and Evaluation


• Update student social network (NING), class website and It's Learning online Units.

Now, it's time to get started.
