This semester...

Goals for the semester
A) Develop lessons that address Essential Questions
B) Get to know students as individuals
C) Find and settle into a teaching style
D) Tailor instruction to needs of different students
E) Improve/Develop my questioning/presentation skills

How will I achieve these goals?
Mostly, I think these goals will be achieved through working with my coop teacher; specifically, by observing what she does, asking questions about her teaching, and using her as a model. I also will look to my subject area and pedagogy mentors for suggestions, criticism, and support. Last, I will turn to my fellow TFL classmates and RG as resources. Of course, I will take ultimate responsibility for whether these goals are met or not.

Why are the goals important?
I believe if I can make significant progress in achieving goals A) through E), I'll be on my way from being a student of teaching to a teacher of students.
