Teaching Goals ~ Achievement Plans

Teachers learn today through a varied pool of information and people.  All of this information allows for constant improvement and development.  But if you don't know why you are reading it or how you want to use this information it can all be lost on you.

That's why goals are important. 

As a teacher I'd like to achieve several things, but here are a look at a few that came to mind:

1.  run and maintain a successful classroom
1. develop a standard of teaching for myself that is honorable and viewed with respect
2. develop a set of rules that my students can achieve and which will allow for a fun and engaging classroom that is respected and educational as well as fun
3. be the type of teacher that students/parents want to have, coworkers look forward to working with, and have administration recognize my abilities and efforts within and outside the classroom
2. develop units, lessons, activities, etc that constantly push and stimulate students' learning
1. through the use of technology, varied activities, field trips, additional resources and alternative learning avenues - create lessons that students want to be apart of and participate in
3. take an activity part in furthering my own development as an educator
1. attend personal development workshops, attend certification courses, read up on new ideas/methods/technologies online and elsewhere
4. work to become comfortable and proficient with technology, so that I am able to promote greater learning for myself and my students
1. personal development or through the assistance of a peer/mentor who knows more than me and can teach me
5. be an involved member of my school/community
1. be a member of the PTA, community organization, etc
