Goal Setting

"Many people feel as if they're adrift in the world. They work hard, but they don't seem to get anywhere worthwhile."...Mind Tools

One reason people feel unsatisfied or that they do not have a purpose is because they have not set a goal. By setting what you want to achieve your efforts can be focused on attaining those goals.  

Setting goals gives you long-term vision and short-term motivation . It sets your focus, and helps you to organize your time and your resources so that you can make the very most of your life.

Spend some time brainstorming  the things you want to accomplish. Each day we ask our students what their goal is for the year and for life. We, as teachers, should be able to answer the same questions.

As a district we set goals for our campus. We strategically set S.M.A.R.T goals to better our school. These are constantly reviewed and revised.  This method is perfect for personal goal setting as well. As we move into the T-TESS era in the State of Texas reflection and goal setting will become part of our daily lives. This process of goal setting will be beneficial to ourselves and our students, both on a personal and professional level.
