What is your favorite thing about teaching?
Mine is helping students meet their goals. I love encouraging them and giving them the support they need to reach their goals no matter what they are. I have helped students reach many academic, behavioral and personal goals, and have had the pleasure of experiencing the excitement and pride of accomplishment with them. I wanted to bring this opportunity to all of my students, and I want to help bring it to the students in your classroom as well. That is the goal of my website.
I spent the 2017-18 school year exploring the question: How can technology be used to implement goal setting procedures with elementary school students?
The reason I chose this question is because I wanted to equip students with the goal setting skills they will need in order to become motivated, and successful lifelong learners. |
Do you ever feel like you're the one doing all the work?
In the past, I felt like it was my job to keep track of all of my student’s scores. This lead to students taking little responsibility for their learning. I wanted to be able to help my students to take ownership of their learning, and I have found some reliable tools and strategies for goal setting that can be implemented in any classroom. |
