Jane. Semi-retired educator in Texas. My goal for 2018 is to be intentionally present in the moment with the people and the tasks I encounter. #mdeschat
A1 I feel like it's part of Maslow's Hierarchy, in terms of self actualization...trying to reach your full potential! Always room for growth & learning! #mdeschat
A1: Goal-setting helps to narrow the focus or scope of a larger project into achievable outcomes. Keeps me focused and accountable to the plan. #mdeschat
A1. Goal setting is about achieving your vision in life! Each accomplishment leads to the final long-term goal. It is also about maintaining momentum by noting an observable, measurable and specific task and evaluating progress. #mdeschat

A2. Set boundaries. Stay "in the work zone" and accomplish tasks w/o procrastination, so those deadlines don't spill over into personal time. Dont feel guilty. #mdeschat
A2: Balancing personal and professional goals requires strategy. This is where @mrclementedu key word of reflection comes into play! Reflect by asking what is in this for me? Achieving goals should be rewarding. #mdeschat
A2 I take them both seriously because I have personal and prof. goals... you have to make both a priority. Plan out your daily schedule accordingly. Take stock often #mdeschat
A3. Modeling, show students that you have short and long-term goals. Reflect and guide students to set goals. It has to be part of the culture of the classroom. #mdeschat
A3: Be their accountability partner. When I see a behaviour that does not match their words, I always say, "I remember you shared that you wanted to X. I do not think that what you are doing helps you achieve that goal. The reaction is always REFLECTION #mdeschat
A3. Start by identifying the Ss strengths. Focus on growth mindset by leading them to setting a goal, help monitor (visuals work well) & learn from mistakes #mdeschat

A3- When I was working on my masters degree, i shared w/ my 4th graders my experience. Showed them the power if learning and that learning doesn't stop. #mdeschat
A3: Model the process of goal-setting for Ss using relatable concepts like preparing for an exam or completing a project. Explain applicable strategies and tools (backward mapping using calendars with timers). #mdeschat
and I'm sure they were asking you about your work and your progress. I shared as well and they will push me to do better. Kids are awesome, they give you strength as they learn to be leaders #mdeschat
A4. If you don’t include students in goal setting then they don’t see the power they have- once they make the connection the possibilities are unlimited #mdeschat
A4 Ss need to be involved in setting goals from the onset. Guidance, modeling, and conference from Ts essential; amount dependent on age of Ss. Times for reflection and adjustment need to be built in #mdeschat

A4: Help Ss evaluate their results by connecting their actions to a plan or thought. Help them begin to see the alignment between goals, budgeting time and commitment to reflection. #mdeschat
A5: Determine how you often you will evaluate if you are reaching your goal. Celebrate the small wins along the way. Use words of affirmation to keep going when you do not get it right. #mdeschat
A5. This is where a visual chart helps remind, keep focus & encourage. The connections w/in lessons through self-assessment help build that mindset #mdeschat
A5 track progress... reflect, adjust when necessary. We are doing the 66 day challenge from The One Thing https://t.co/8VKBeNjInn
Daily check ins. #mdeschat
A5. Monitor, Reflect, Assess, and tweak as needed. It is important that these goals can be met and not create a nightmare for our students. Can't forget to celebrate #mdeschat
This is a fluid chart that could be modified/adapted for all ages in goal setting, reflecting, adjusting... could be tailored to be short-or long-term goals #mdeschat
A5: The power of written words can encourage commitment! Tech tools can help. Set reminders and find ways to reward progress and failures. Develop a routine where goals can be reviewed and developed through iterative drawings in different colors. #mdeschat
A6: I would encourage work habits because good or bad habits influence all aspects of life. When improved habits can change the trajectory of life. #mdeschat
A6: Organization: So they can learn how to be accountable to themselves across multiple content areas and be prepared for NOW and the NEXT stage of life. #mdeschat

A6 Life.... I want my Ss to know how to strive to be their best selves....if they don't see their own power to improve outside of academics, they're less likely 2 strive for academic excellence #mdeschat
The #physed T at my school does a lot of collaboration with math/science/social studies/ELA teachers. They came up with an underground railroad themed obstacle course, some kind of astronomy activity and many other great ideas! Perhaps that could be a path for you? #masterychat

A7. Write them down, put a post-it on your computer screen, share them with others, talk with those who have the same goals, lean on colleagues #mdeschat
