Individual Goal Statement

Phones are easy to use and very accessible by both students and teachers. “Smartphones allow us to take down notes any time, any place.” “smartphones allows you to access resources and material quickly before an exam.” “not only can we make videos, but we can also edit them, add text, filters, effects and more.” This is true because smartphones really do work in a way that is helpful to students and teachers. This evidence is supporting it by just stating that there are many cool and useful ways to use them.

A.) Explain why it is important to promote appropriate behaviour and respect for others (ref. 2.2) It is important to promote appropriate behaviuor and respect for others in the class to create a safe and comfortable learning environment in which learners feel at ease to express their opinion, participate in classroom discussions and activities and ask questions allowing learners to complete their work to the best of their ability and ultimately achieve their goals. Each learner may have different religious or cultural backgrounds and even different learning needs. Therefore it is important to create a learning atmosphere that promotes the appropriate behavior and respect for others. A good way of achieving this positive learning environment

Safety: Students know that they are physically safe and that they are not in danger in the classroom. Safety also includes students emotional and mental well-being, meaning that they will be free from emotional damage such as bulling or name-calling.

I sat in my child development class in a “brick and mortar” classroom setting. What was I doing there? I was extremely interested in what the professor was speaking on and what was being discussed. However, I was beginning to doubt whether I wanted to continue in my current field of study, Speech/Language Pathology. I no longer felt I was being fulfilled. There was something lacking. I talked to a few of my friends who mentioned how much money I would make as a Speech/Language Pathologist. I heard what they were saying, but somehow it just did not matter. I had to find the missing link…….

My primary goal in applying to Walden University for Ph.D. program is to prepare myself for a future career in forensic human services administration. Interested in furthering the current body of research and in improving techniques used on the study of the theoretical foundations of organizational behavior and the practice of management and planning. I am very committed to pursuing human services administration and I believe Walden University Ph.D. program will provide me with an excellent foundation in the area of organizational management and planning. With a Ph.D., I will be well prepared to lead a

My goal as an educator is to receive a Master of Science in Education with a Concentration in Inclusion Education. Even though I do not hold an undergraduate degree in Education, this is where my life path has taken me. Being an educator without an education degree has taught me how to help students learn by thinking outside the box. I currently have a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Communication. I am an Instructor. I am knowledgeable in areas of training using effective communication skills. I am able to explain to others the process and steps it takes to produce a positive outcome.

Mr. Harry Hwong, a Biology 1 teacher at Arroyo High School, has taught freshmen students first through sixth period for nearly 11 years. Before arriving at Arroyo High School, Mr. Hwong immigrated from Yangon, Burma in 1984 to San Gabriel, California in 1985 (while traveling to different countries between that year). He settled there with extended family, learned English, and adapted to American culture at a young age. Through his education life, Mr. Hwong attended Gabrielino High School for his high school years and later attended University California, Santa Barbara with a Bachelor’s in Biology. He graduated in 2006. Mr. Hwong wanted to continue his education, so he worked hard and received his Masters Degree in Science Education at University

It is important for a classroom teacher to set behavior goals for his or her students. Behavior goals should be directly related to the classroom management plan. Students should be expected to treat their peers and teachers with respect, show respect for classroom property, are kind and courteous in all speech and actions, work diligently to accomplish assigned tasks, and demonstrate self-respect and honesty. Establishing clear and consistent goals for the operation of the classroom helps to provide an atmosphere that is conducive to learning and lends itself to alleviating opportunities for misbehavior. As a teacher I will work to provide my students with positive goals for appropriate behavior. I will also clearly define the consequences for misbehavior so that students understand fully the repercussions for failing to act in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the classroom management plan.

As I take on the challenge of being a middle school teacher. My goals will be to understand no two students are the same, provide a secure and safe environment for my students to learn and create a classroom where my students can grow intellectually and socially. My hope as I begin instruction in my classroom is that I can make each student feel safe and they will participate often in classroom discussions, because they will not be afraid of judgment from me or other students. If I see the way I am currently teaching is not helping my students I will make sure I ask a veteran teacher for help; what can I do differently. I will communicate frequently with parents, other teachers and the administration at my school. My classroom will be well

I think my greatest and foremost requirement as a teacher is to make every student feel welcome. This can include working on bullying, diminishing the single story stereotypes, accommodating for each individual student's’ needs, and more. It is very crucial that students feel that they have a safe and comfortable space where they can learn and actively participate. Even if I may not agree with something a student believes in or does, it is very important that I do not let that get in the way of how I treat them, or how I let others treat them. This can also apply to my faculty members, fellow teachers, and the school district. There will be many people who have different views and beliefs as me, but the most important thing is the students,

This summer semester has been a crammed, quick paced experience, and for the most part, I loved it! I know that the goals I set for this class helped me tremendously with all my classes and contributed my success this semester. I am positive I will use the goal setting skills I learned here for the rest of my academic career and life in general.

Goal setting has always been an important factor in my life, because of that I have accomplished things that I am very proud of. Without goals it would make it very hard to succeed in life because there is nothing to work hard for. Goal setting is a constant reminder of the things that are important to you. It gives me the motivation to work hard every day so that I can achieve my goals. Goals are what keeps each of us different. Throughout my life, I hope to continue to set goals.

Providing a safe and secure environment enables students to explore and participate in learning. Students will volunteer answers and ask questions when they feel safe. When students feel safe they are more willing to talk about themselves to others and the teacher. Establish relationships with your students and build a sense of community within your classroom. Students need to get to know each other as well as experience the “human” side of their teacher. This will allow for a safe and trusting classroom environment.

My goal is to establish a classroom environment in which students will take ownership of their learning and enjoy the active pursuit of knowledge. Together we will explore the ways in which scientific concepts relate to our daily lives and impact our communities. Learners will be encouraged to interact with scientific concepts in a variety of ways, and will begin to break down the notion that the pursuit of scientific knowledge must be completed individually in a sterile laboratory setting. Even if students do not plan on pursuing careers in science fields, they will leave my class with better understandings of the nature of science and how to evaluate sources of scientific information, as well as a stronger desire to engage with the natural world.

According to Pew Research Center of Internet, Science, and Technology “ Today, 68% of U.S. adults own a smartphone, up from 35% in 2011, and tablet computer ownership has edged up to 45% among adults.” They also say “ 86% of those ages 18-26 have smartphones and 73% of teens have or have access to smartphones.” fIn the last decade the use of technology has grown tremendously and has now reached our schools. Computer labs have been in schools since the early seventies computers began to make themselves known in the education field when schools began having computer labs for reading test and essays. Since then most schools have a computer or each student to take notes on or study with, or whatever they
