  • RSwd53 Jan 9 @ 9:48 PM EST
    A2: Goals keep us focused on a mission and give us vision as to where we want to go and grow #ECEchat
  • CrystalPepperK Jan 9 @ 9:48 PM EST
    A2: Goal setting is important because it sets expectations and achieving them is the best feeling! Goal setting is also such a great thing to do with students as well. Start small and go slow to go fast! #ecechat
  • KLCseedtotree Jan 9 @ 9:48 PM EST
    A2 Goals give us a starting line; the path that gets us to the end may not be what we imagined, but at least we traveled it. Robert Frost reference in there for ya'll šŸ˜‰ #ecechat
  • katyphinney Jan 9 @ 9:49 PM EST
    A2 When goal setting I think through the steps I need to take, resources needed, & map it out on a calendar. I even set check-in reminders on my phone. #ECEchat
  • katyphinney Jan 9 @ 9:49 PM EST
    A2: Goal setting is important because it gives you a long term focus & it's motivating! #ECEchat

    RT Q2: Why is goal setting important & how do you go about setting goals for yourself? #ECEChat
  • ADutke Jan 9 @ 9:49 PM EST
    A1. This has been a tough one to decide, but at the moment my one word is Strategize. Focusing my energy where it matters. Letting go of things where it doesn't. Challenge with letting go - I am not one to give up... Especially when Ss are involved. #ECEChat
  • thejadedvoice Jan 9 @ 9:49 PM EST
    A2: I think goal setting is one way we can hold ourselves accountable. I like to reflect on how I spent my time and consider: did I get the results I wanted? what do I still need to do? what do I need to stop doing? #ECEChat

  • 30mickeyolga Jan 9 @ 9:50 PM EST
    A2. My goal setting is usually in the form of a list of things I would love ā¤ļø to achieve. It keeps me on track until I lose my list šŸ˜® #ECEchat
  • SydneyGen Jan 9 @ 9:50 PM EST
    A2. I have realised that the saying: Fail to plan is a plan to fail is accurate. Goal setting means my #focus remains in my mind and keeps me on track!! #ECEChat #AussieTeachers #PreServiceTeacher

    In reply to @KLCseedtotree, @thejadedvoice, @educationhall
  • kimperclefarias Jan 9 @ 9:53 PM EST
    A2. I try not to make a goal to improve or be better at something, but instead of how to include more of what I enjoy into my work to be successful. This makes goals more fun and attainable #ECEchat
  • ADutke Jan 9 @ 9:53 PM EST
    A2. Keeps you focused! And the why behind the goal(s) in the first place gives you the drive/motivation to follow through with it. #ECEchat
  • LindaFarringer Jan 9 @ 9:53 PM EST
    A2 - Without setting goals - weā€™re just going through the motions. Goals drive us to learn, grow, and achieve. I dig into my passions, find my weaknesses, and set practical mile-markers to hit on the way from point A to B #ECEChat
  • JessicaCabeen - Moderator Jan 9 @ 9:54 PM EST

  • KLCseedtotree Jan 9 @ 9:59 PM EST
    A3 Read about a principle that drastically changed an inner city school by blocking subjects at the same time so every Ss could learn at their level; includes going to diff. classes and Ts. Want to try something like it w/ our Ss. This yr levels range super low/high #ecechat
  • PreK33 Jan 9 @ 9:59 PM EST
    #ecechat A2: Goal-setting gives you small, measurable steps to get to the bigger goal. For example, I want my preschoolers to be able to write their names by the end of the year. We start by putting the letters in order, then tracing,then connecting the dots, then by themselves
    In reply to @VealHeidi
  • ADutke Jan 9 @ 9:59 PM EST

    A5. As someone who operates more on the fly versus taking time to write things down (I fail every year at actually using a calendar/planner), I prefer to make it part of my reflective thought process versus something more formal... #ECEchat

    A5 It is important to show our Ss how to set/reach goals. We made a class promise (use a plastic crayon shape-all drop their picture in each morn) with @ConsciousD "to keep our classroom safe" They came up with the ways and now hold each other accountable AMAZING! #ecechat

    A5. What is your one goal for today? This week? Break it down and focus on one major thing/takeaway you hope to accomplish. With my students, I ask what do you want to do/learn now/today? #ECEchat

    A5 W PreK Ss point out when you see them determined to do something. "I see you are really trying hard to climb the tree." Celebrate their successes. "You were really persistent. You didn't give up even when you slipped. All your attempts this week paid off, you did it!" #ECEChat

    A5: currently my students have writing goals listed on my cabinets with dry erase marker when they master the skill they receive a snowball to turn in for free choice station or reward #ECEchat

    I have a section in my personal planner that is blocked off for reflections of how you felt your months goals went, then I set a TON of reminders to actually set time aside to do this with a nice beverage, candles and no electronic distractions #ECEchat
