Clarification on Block I Goals

Hello, all. . .

Are you a bit confused as to what your goals should be? Your goals will be more related to what you want to improve in your teaching/pedagogy skills--not so much what you want to teach. You might visit with your associate this week to see where your associate thinks you need to focus. Usually these goals are related to classroom management, lesson implementation, lesson design, or discipline--we had one student who needed to develop "teacher presence" one year, so her first goal was to improve her delivery of teacher-directed instruction focusing on clear directions, good "teacher" voice, and calm delivery. Others often choose things like "improve classroom management with a focus on _ _ _ _ _ __ " and then fill in the blank!

Hope this helps! I'll look forward to reading these!
