A1: Either because they weren't well thought out, didn't mean enough to the person setting them, or were denied by something completely outside of your control. #makeitreal
A1: Because we are still looking for the right keys. Sometimes the wind pushes the arrow away from the target. Lots of different, unforeseen variables. #makeitreal
A1: Too much complexity. Not setting up a simple, replicable way to get to your goal that is realistic. People get tired and real life gets in the way. #MakeItReal
A1: Goals can fail if they're merely goals without gameplans; they can fail if one lacks determination and/or perseverance; they may fail and have to be remade again and again #makeitreal
A1- Life is unpredictable. In education, children and learning is unpredictable. Setting goals is nice, but flexibility is key because you never know what is going to get in the way. #MakeItReal
A1 Some goals fail because we get distracted or give up. Sometimes the goal is too big, it needs to be broken down into smaller more manageable goals #MakeItReal

A1: There could be many different variables for failure...complexity, giving up too easily, not in the right frame of mind...basically if you look at things from a fixed mindset instead of a growth mindset. #MakeItReal

I think about student athletes who suffer an injury they had nothing to do with and are denied the career they wanted (and probably would have gotten). Tragic, esp if they don't have anything to fall back on.
A2: Discern what my goals REALLY are and why I want to achieve them, count the cost of what they will require, and set up a calendar with small steps towards the ultimate goal. #makeitreal
A2: I use Getting Things Done framework. Everything gets written down. If it's not written down, it's not going to happen. Preferably with a date on it. #gtd#MakeItReal

A2 Find a way to make it happen. Stock up on motivation, write out a plan, and COMMIT. Hold yourself accountable & find others to hold you accountable as well. #MakeItReal
A2: A goal has an end date and accountability. And if you haven't accomplished it by that date, you reflect, re-evaluate, and reset the goal. #makeitreal

I like that idea, keeping in mind that they are also committing to hold you accountable. If they can't follow up on that commitment, gotta find someone who can and will. #makeitreal

I like to check the box - so I make a plan, check it off as I go. Thatās motivation and accountability for me. Plus, my husband is great at keeping me accountable. Peer pressure isnāt always bad. #MakeItReal
A2b If your goal is a fitness goal plan on working on it with someone else. You won't want to let Yet your partner down, you'll do it even when you don't feel like it #MakeItReal

A3: I want to be present more often and provide as many opportunities for high level reading, writing, and discussing/arguing as possible for students. No worksheets, no movies, no multiple choice anything. As simple and replicable as possible. #makeitreal
A3: Making it the best year yet! Instead of an am and a pm class, the preschoolers are going all day. This creates so much more of an opportunity to build relationships!! #MakeItReal
A3: Focusing on building more relationships with my teachers and empowering them as instructional leaders! This year we started a badge system to reward teachers for living our campus culture, and we have goals to improve that process and integrate it more! #MakeItReal

A3: Build on the relationships Iāve established this year with staff to coach more folks and to bring the greatest level of depth that they are ready to tackle. I want to support their growth and keep their talent moving forward. #makeitreal

A3) Just:
1. Solidifying my transition to standards based grading through self-assessed learning.
2. Redesigning the entire curriculum.
3. Adopting a #thinkingclassroom dynamic for class structure.
Accidentally, started an online #PLC to do it.
Thatās all...
#MakeItReal
A3: I want to encourage more technology into literacy instruction. I want to work with struggling readers as well as those that need extension opportunities. #MakeItReal
That is always a good one! I have been interviewing some of our graduating seniors, and not one said that they had enough voice and choice in school. It is always an area of weakness. #makeitreal
Thank you. It helps to have similar structures year round. I have to always remember, it's not about ME doing the cognitive work...it's about shoving the cognitive load onto the STUDENTS. #makeitreal
One of my goals is to use MORE movies! I teach beginner ESL at the high school level and movies are great ways to teach colloquial English and to practice listening. And to have great arguments. #MakeItReal
A1 Sometimes our dreams donāt reflect our true selves. Chasing those dreams and failing often helps us find our true selves which allows alignment between dreams and self. This is what (often) enables dreams to succeed. #MakeItReal
I once did a year without worksheets. It was amazing, and not only because I didn't have to arrive 30 minutes earlier every day to make copies. #MakeItReal
Folks, this has been great! It was a fast-moving chat, but I loved reading your responses. Wouldn't be cool if I remembered to check back later on to see how we are doing with these goals? That could be my goal. #makeitreal
