Semester Goals That You Will Be Working Toward

This semester, I want to improve my vocabulary. I believe that I have very strong ideas, but I do not always have the right words to emphasize my message. I would also like to work on creating better flow in my writing; as mentioned in class, it is common for writers to start with an idea and continue on a tangent that does not always relate to the main idea. My third goal for this semester is to elaborate more on my ideas. I feel like the papers I have written in the past are good, but I could have explained myself further and received more points on my papers.

The educator will assess the words mastered through the students writing and reading them aloud. As the students focus on writing and saying the words this can help them remember and retain the words. A list of words will be provided to the students to read correctly in one minute. As the students read the words the educator will record how many words were read in a minute. The Fluency assessment will be completed throughout the year to help guide instruction and increase reading fluency.

As a senior I hope to accomplish many goals, some of them being in high school and some relating to college. A goal is an aim or a desired result, but may not always be achieved. Going into senior year I have aspirations of going to a good college and working for higher grades.

Comprehension is also an important factor when speaking of literacy. Students should be taught the many strategies that will help them with comprehension and word recognition. In my experience in a first grade classroom I used many of these strategies. Within my lessons I included the activation of prior knowledge to construct meaning, the use of context clues in a sentence, pictures clues, predicting, and drawing inferences about ideas or characters in the text. I always made sure that I modeled the strategy for the student before they set of to do it.

As a nontraditional student as well as a Sophomore my goals as well as responsibilities are different from the typical student’s. As a father of three, including a six month old balancing my professional, academic, together with my personal life has been the most challenging aspect of returning to school.

Ever since I was young, I was exposed to a Historically Black College or University, Jackson State University. I had always went to activities and functions such as football games, summer programs, and other special events. I did not know whether I would attend a historically Black College or University (HBCU) or not at the time. I had finally decided to go to a HBCU, and I would attend Tougaloo College in the fall to further my education. I have many goals and objectives for pursing my educational experience at a historically Black College, and I plan to achieve them.

The first year learning goals are what students must achieve throughout their first year in college. There are 6 goals that focus on how developed an individual has become in reading and writing. The first goal, is “to help students understand the ways readers read and writers write in and beyond the university.”

I have decided on what I wanted to do with college since I was a child. It sounds ridiculous, but I am passionate about what I want to do. I was inspired at a very young age since I was in third grade, and I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. A teacher for what grade is what I did not know. As my family grew bigger with my nephews and nieces, I realized that I wanted to be surrounded by kids. I put what I wanted with my passion and got major. My intended major is to receive a double major in Primary and Elementary education, my goal is to receive a Masters in at least one of these majors.

The first lessons will begin with inaccurate versus accurate reading as improving those will increase word accuracy efficiently. The student will receive direct instruction on the importance of accurate reading, along with vocabulary lessons

Here is definitely when he seemed to struggle the most. He got an 86% accuracy and took longer to read (3 minutes 36 seconds). He also seemed to get more frustrated when he read words that he was not able to pronounce or he believed that he was not saying correct. Based on the test administered, I determined that Juan fell in the range of an X. He is able to read the passage and has some difficulty with the words but nothing that makes it impossible for him to read the passage. Some patterns that can be noted is that he tends to skip some words when he is reading or add words that are not in the text. Spelling is where Juan seemed to have some problems. He was able to spell out the words that did not consist of a lot of words but when they began to get more complex is when he began to have trouble. He got a 4 out of 6 in the blends and diagraphs section, 3out of 4 in the long vowels and and managed to spell correctly 8 out of the ten words. When he was writing down the words he seemed unsure of himself even though the words were correct and part of the reason he got one word correct was because he was second guessing himself on how it was

My educational goals are to get accepted into a great college, such as New Mexico State University and achieve the highest level of excellence that I am able to push myself to, just as I did within my high school years. As usual, when you ask someone about their goals it is a very simple answer such as something that can be achieved without hardships and something that is the least stressful. However, I myself strive to be better than that and know that great things are accomplished when you put forth your full effort. With that being said I strive to have excellent grades with a minimum of a 3.8 GPA and work with my best effort to excel at an accelerated level. Eventually earning my bachelor's degree and considering going back for my master's

After two full weeks of college I have quickly learned that college is very stressful and if I want to be successful I need to learn how to set practical goals and acquire necessary tactics to accomplish each goal in the given amount of time. I have set three goals for my first semester of college to achieve success in both academic and personal areas in my life. I want to receive a 4.0 GPA, only have up to one absence in each class, and be able to run seven miles nonstop, I will complete these three goals all in my first semester of college. With essential goal setting strategies I am equipped with I will be able to accomplish my three goals in the time frame given and set myself up for success for next semesters as a UNC student.

An obvious goal as a working adult returning to school is, of course, to earn a degree. My overall goal is no different than any other student, however, I also have several personal goals I hope to achieve while attending the University. Some of these goals are to acquire new skills and enhance my current business abilities, to apply what I learn in the classroom to forward my career, and to feel personal satisfaction of finishing something I started.

Everyone should have personal goals that evolve around anything that needs to be accomplished. I set goals on a daily basis. One goal that I seem to have not truly focused on has been my college education. Considering all things, I decided I needed to focus on my college education. The first thing I needed to accomplish was to enroll in an institution for higher learning. Now that my enrollment is complete, I am an official student at the University enrolled in the undergraduate program for business management. As a student at the university, I now have to set personal goals so that I will be successful in my endeavors. My personal goals are to gain personal growth and development and graduate from my undergraduate program in business
