Second semester's challenges are to keep my students engaged and energized as we all seem to get tired (especially Seniors) as the AP exams draw near.]]> 2018-01-03 18:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218597304 Goal check https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218624454 My goal was to maximize student engagement as evidenced by an evaluator during formal and informal observations.  The feedback from my evaluator has been positive and I am on track to accomplish my goal. ]]> 2018-01-03 19:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218624454 My goal will continue this semester in getting students to take responsibility for their learning. https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218624753 2018-01-03 19:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218624753 Herring https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218661060 My goal was to reflect more on my teaching and I did pretty well. I started out writing out full length reflections, but soon time constraints kicked in and I ended up writing out side notes on post-its and papers for the day. Its all organized so there is that. I am going to change gears for my goal this semester and ensure that I make time for myself to prevent getting burned out before Spring Break. Spring semester has always been hard to finish strong.]]> 2018-01-04 01:11:21 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218661060 Goal Check heather_brindle https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218710956 My 1st semester goal was to make sure every student felt/knew that I was there for them. I will continue this goal but will also add to it. I plan to push and help my students reach their individual academic goals to the best of their ability and to be better citizens of this country and human race.

I have made a conscience effort to use and learn my way around eclass. I am going to continue with this as my goal but emphasize creating online assessments]]> 2018-01-04 13:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218722111 Goal Check shayna_aspinwall https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218734548 My goal was to use and utilize eClass more to help students. I've used eClass significantly more to help my students. I've used assessments more and created more online study tools for my students. My students love the self assessment tools to help them study for tests and quizzes. ]]> 2018-01-04 14:03:44 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218734548 Gouge https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218769543 Still working on it and trying to find the magic spark that makes seniors understand their role in their success.]]> 2018-01-04 15:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218769543 V. Cross https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218816245 My goal was to learn to say no... I am doing okay with it. Now it is seeping into my personal life now that my kids are starting to get involved in activities.]]> 2018-01-04 18:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218816245 Stephans carly_stephans https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218820759 I wanted students to get to know each other better in each class period, so we wouldn't be a room of strangers. It didn't work perfectly, but it's a work and progress. I do try to encourage them to speak and work with people they're not already friends with, but I know not everyone knows everyone's name.

King https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218832490 My goal was to get my gifted certification and try new strategies in my classes. I have completed the first course and am working on the second course in the gifted certification program through Gwinnett County. I have learned many strategies in the course and have implemented a few of them in my classroom. Students have learned the material in new and different ways and I have found some types of activities that I can use throughout the year and for years to come.]]> 2018-01-04 19:30:52 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218832490 Goal Check - Stanek https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218836620 I have gotten closer to my goal of working smarter or more efficiently and not harder. I don't think I am where I would love to be but I am getting closer. Using more formative assessments rather than routinely grading piles of paper has really helped. ]]> 2018-01-04 19:46:00 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218836620 Nicholson terry_nicholson https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218870521 My goal check is completed as of final exams first semester. I met the goal and even though it doesn't apply to spring semester I have challenged myself to continue it into second semester. It was based on senior achievement]]> 2018-01-05 00:11:13 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218870521 Goal Check https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218937323 My goal was to become a better user of my time. To properly balance all the tasks I needed to complete without being overwhelmed or forgetting to do something. I did very well, using the calendar app on my phone and my dayplanner, I was able to prioritize all tasks and use my down time to attack them, so overall I think i did well in obtaining my goal. ]]> 2018-01-05 14:03:20 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218937323 My goal was to provide a challenge for my students to get them to think out of the box and experience new practices. My Ceramics students definitely pushed the limits this semester with more complicated projects. They built larger than ever before and really tested themselves. https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218976459 2018-01-05 16:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218976459 My goal was to provide support and resources to help AP art students meet their goals. This mainly revolved around their time management. I have meet with county art lead and implemented some strategies. https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218976483 Jane Boyett]]> 2018-01-05 16:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/218976483 All suspense dates/times were achieved. https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/219590397 2018-01-09 01:39:20 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/219590397 J Head https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/219733047 My Goal was to differentiate instruction more which I have been making a big effort to do and feel I have been able to implement this more.]]> 2018-01-09 14:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/219733047 Fisher https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/219788308 I met my 1st semester goal of convincing students to write down their personal and academic goals, and checking them periodically for success. ]]> 2018-01-09 15:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/219788308 I did a better job with eclass this year. The digital learning prep has helped. I can utilize it more this semester to continue improving. https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/219836249 2018-01-09 16:49:26 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/219836249 My goal for the years was to become Gifted certified. I have finished the first section of the class, and have just started part 2. So, I haven't achieved my goal yet, but I am on track to finish. cindyacopeland https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/220538451 2018-01-11 12:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/220538451 Goal Check https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/220564690 While I think I achieved my goal from August, it was not easy. It takes a solid commitment to be positive everyday, even when things are not going as planned or outside factors stress you out but I noticed that my classroom environment fed off my demeanor so it was worth it to stay positive. 
My new goal is to engage more with students outside of the just the classroom: in the halls, at events, etc.   ]]> 2018-01-11 13:35:53 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/220564690 Goal Check https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/220641441 I am in the process of achieving my goal of speaking mainly in the target language. What I'm most proud of is how much of the target language my students now understand - very little if any comprehension evident in August. And discipline issues I had as a result of the students having no discipline or instruction from the teachers last year have been resolved. I feel that it was a success.]]> 2018-01-11 15:55:22 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/220641441 Goal check https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/220724208
My goal will still continue into this second semester. I am trying to have my students log into eClass more and use it a great resource and tool.]]> 2018-01-11 18:26:10 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/220724208 I continue to work on my goal of finding new ways of using technology to enhance lessons and becoming more comfortable withusing e-class. https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/220813173 2018-01-11 22:27:41 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/220813173 Goal Check nikita_manvar https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/220930645 I am still in the process of meeting my goal of aiding students in passing the AP Exam. ]]> 2018-01-12 12:08:42 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/220930645 Goal Check - Patria https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/220958984 I am successfully achieving the goal I set for myself in August. I set out to use eClass more with my classes. I have been posting news items regularly; keeping my calendar up-to-date with assignments, links to handouts and presentations, and due dates; and using eClass as an assessment tool and a place for students to complete assignments and turn in work.

My new goal is to consistently hold high expectations. ]]> 2018-01-12 16:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/221036390 Goal Check https://padlet.com/latinteach/qe00yrzllxrk/wish/221098064 I definitely improved in using online  tools and eClass.
