A1 A goal is achieved; a dream-while wonderful-tends 2 b 'out there.' 2 make a dream 'real,' give it timetables & ask 4 spprt  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A1: A goal is something that is over arching, but obtainable. It is also that should be measurable. 
 
 
 
 
yes-when we make our dreams actionable they can become goals   https://t.co/mBYHX6HBQN

measurement means we can see if our goals are achievable-otherwise they are just wishes   https://t.co/xMHGvXWKVv  
 
 
 
 
 
A1: A goal is something that is over arching, but obtainable. It is also that should be measurable. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A1:goal is something that is more tangible at the particular time being made &a dream/wish is it not as concrete at that moment  
 
 
 
 
 
A1:Maybe because a goal can be measurable, spaced into short and long term goals.   
 
 
 
like the "at that moment" add-we need to know that dreams can become tangible when we make them goals   https://t.co/Ysl4pVhiA3

, a1, a goal is something you set in order to reach a dream, it's important to dream big but take smaller steps to get there 
 
 
 
 awesome you could be here Mrs. Xander!  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 A1 you set a plan for a goal and a dream is a wish or a thought ... "someday." 
 
 
 
right on! small chunks make our dreams more actionable   https://t.co/fDZLLyoHoC

Q1: a goal is something you are working to achieve where a wish is something you hope will happen  
 
 
 
 Hey Chandler! awesome to have you here tonight  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Ss practiced goal-setting every qtr. We made goal doable-raise hand once per class; say something nice once per day  
 
 
 
our 2nd question is about to drop   
 
 
 
 
 
we need to have hope but if all we do is hope with out action our dreams never materialize   https://t.co/6GTLbkM9cu  
 
 
 
 
 
Q1: a goal is something you are working to achieve where a wish is something you hope will happen  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
great to have Ss set goals that are obtainable-creating small wins builds positive cultures   https://t.co/3Uyadaee1m

A1: goals are wishes that have been developed into measurable steps to ensure attainment  
 
 
 
 
 
it is important to have a goal, but it can change  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A2: Goals can evolve. What you think you want might grow into something else via inspiration/new info/personal evolution.   
 
 
 
 
 
A2 Goals must be able to be changed. When we grow, goals change. Modeling goal change shows Ss that they can evolve  
 
 
 
 
 
 A2 The path to the goal can change over and over! If the goal is changing due to lack of perseverance then the path must change 
 
 
 
 
 
A2: Goals can be flexible to be able to achieve them.   
 
 
 
 
 
, a2, most things in life don't go as planned, I always (or usually) try to be flexible, reflective and open. 
 
 
 
 
 
Hi!  I'm Lisa, a1, a goal is something you work for but a wish is what passes you by.   
 
 
 
self-reflection on that path means that we are open to the shifts in our thinking that can occur   https://t.co/txGcRYdz72  
 
 
 
 
 
A2: Goals can evolve. What you think you want might grow into something else via inspiration/new info/personal evolution.   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 hey Lisa glad you could join!  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
our goals change as we get closer to achieving them  https://t.co/RXqyV4jL76  
 
 
 
 
 
A2 Goals must be able to be changed. When we grow, goals change. Modeling goal change shows Ss that they can evolve  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A2: Formal like in an Eval then no. Instructional goals in my class then of course I shift it based on formative assessment.
 
 
 
 
 
 
& some paths lead us 2 dead end. We must teach Ss dead-end is not wasted time, but lrng opportunity  https://t.co/3LgZk6odOK  
 
 
 
 
 
 A2 The path to the goal can change over and over! If the goal is changing due to lack of perseverance then the path must change 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Goals should be reasonable and attainable, but fluid to allow for change.   
 
 
 
do you think there is a time that a goal shouldn't be changed?   https://t.co/CsUnTXJDrz

What is up  tweeps? Justin 4th grade teacher here from  late due to an  game! What's up  ? 
 
 
 
 
 
A2: I don't necessarily feel like big giant goals change, just the steps needed to get there once our perspective grows  
 
 
 
reasonable is huge-many times lofty goals are honorable but we often don't meet them?   https://t.co/FRY5gAGDWg

A3: Completing a Masters Degree. It took time, money, resources, a loving and caring wife, supportive peers, and GRIT!
 
 
 
 
 
 
my goal was to earn my cert in administration. I am going to be successful because I worked hard and kept moving forward  
 
 
 
 
 
It would depend on the goal. When I set goals w/admin then no I can't change them.   https://t.co/eQ0sSSzt9i
