Goals for TE 402

In reading the goals for the class, I agree that I want gain experience covering the required materials based on educational standards. I also want to continue to acquire positive and effective teaching, curriculum building and class management skills; and I want to take an active part in my learning in order to be able to benefit my students as much as possible.

I know for myself that in order to accomplish these goals I need to make other goals such as not filling my schedule so full that I do many things OK and nothing well. also I need to take the time to read and reflect on resources given in class not in order to check it off my list but for understanding. Writing down questions and using my instructors and peers as resources will also me helpful.

This semester I also want to build better relationships with my classmates as they will me my colleagues in the field of education. there is much to be done this semester but also much to learn. I am looking forward to this class and hope that travelling to my afternoon class will not cut into my learning.

I can relate to your comment about making "goals such as not filling my schedule so full that I do many things OK and nothing well". I really want to achieve that goal as well this semester. Sometimes it seems like under the pressure of so many classes and assignments, it becomes easy to let some become "less important" than others.

I am making a conscious effort to get the most out of all of my classes this semester without losing my mind.

I also agree that using peer resources will be a very good way to be sure that we are able to achieve these goals.
