Clear target goals allow a teacher to provide students with quality assessments whether formative or summative. Additionally, clear target goals provide teachers with the information in which assessments need to assess. Furthermore, target goals provide a baseline line for teachers to analyze assessment results to ensure students are learning the content standards provided by the state curriculum standards.
Utilizing backward design allows teachers to break down their content standards to understand if their content standards goal is one of acquisition of knowledge, the development of reasoning capabilities, the demonstration of a physical skill, or the creation of a product. When teachers dissect their state standards, they gain a clear
I have a lot of career goals that I am currently working on and some that will be started shortly. All of these goals are going to help me with my career and personal life. This paper is going to discuss some of my short and long term goals that I am planning for. This paper will also describe how I plan to accomplish those goals with the help of an education plan. There have been a lot of technological developments within my career field that will affect both my long term and short term goals.
“Backward Design” is the name of a technique used by teachers when designing curriculum. The concept
With 33 million Americans utilizing healthcare services as a means to manage mental health conditions and illnesses, adequate delivery of mental healthcare, treatment, and practice is becoming increasingly more important in the American landscape of wellness (SAMHSA, 2004a). The mental health system continues to be a challenging area of healthcare, due to: increased usage of coercion into treatment, diversity in care delivery systems, an unevolved quality measurement mechanism, and a drastically different business and marketplace infrastructure. These factors added to the, already, present stigma associated with mental health, culminates into an extremely
A goal is defined as, “the result or achievement toward which effort is directed; aim; end” according to dictionary.com. In high school, this is the most ambiguous word that every teacher uses. They don’t do this on purpose, they do it because administration expects to see them reach some type of goal over some type of time period, usually by whenever the next standardized test is set to be given. The text What High School Is, by Theodore R. Sizer, goes over much of what a “normal” day at the typical high school is like for student Mark, and why it should be changed for X and Y reasons. These days consist of doing what you are told by people “more educated” than yourself, seeing things in the way they want you to see them. In the text The Loss of Creature, by Walker Percy, he sets a huge emphasis on seeing things through
Although not a new idea, the deliberate use of backward design for planning curriculum units and courses results in more clearly defined goals, more appropriate assessments, more tightly aligned lessons, and more purposeful teaching.
If a student wants to succeed at school, it’s an excellent tool to learn and set short-term and long-term goals because it reveals what you expect from yourself. I set day-to-day goals to prevent feeling overwhelmed, have a greater understanding of the material, and assisting in achieving long-term
I choose these goals for my students based on what I thought/ what my mentor teacher thought in regards to his needs. My student’s biggest need is in the area of fluency, my student is struggling when it comes to reading. While progress monitoring, I choose to have my student work on phoneme segmenting at almost 1st grade level. I would read him a word, and he would need to sound it out. He did very well with those assessments, therefore my student doesn’t have an issue when he hears words. I wish I had progress monitored him on word fluency instead. I would have been able to see where he was with that, instead of having to see his official assessment scores. My student is in 2nd grade, and is reading at a DRA score of 10, which translates to the middle of 1st grade. My student is almost in
There are targeted learning goals for all students, and these are based on standards that are set by those higher up than the teachers (Black, 2007). There are many ways that formative assessments can be used, and many formats in which they can be appeared. It is important that they are distinguished from summative assessments, however, and there are several ways in which that can be done (Black & William, 1998; Blatchford,
No matter what I am trying to learn I need to remember a few things.
This paper focuses on the redesign for expanding the Health Information Services. To redesign the health information service, the article shows the four principles of goal setting levels. Which are:
The chapter number is seven, and the assessment name is “Does Goal Setting Fit Your Management Style?”
Ideally teachers should first look at how the objectives correspond to the larger goals and aims and then identify the skills required to achieve the objectives (Noddings, Aims, Goals and Objectives, 2007).
My first long-term goal is to obtain a position as a Kindergarten teacher in the Twin Falls School District. In order to complete this goal, I will need to successfully fulfill the following short-term goals: finish the Elementary Education Program here at the College of Southern Idaho, transfer to Idaho State University, graduate from the Elementary Education Program, receive my teacher’s certification from the State of Idaho, and secure a teacher’s position.
Clear goals allow students to engage more and feel motivated to participate and do better in school.
Setting goals is the most important thing you can do in your life. Without goal's you are going to have no direction, no ambition to be successful, no drive to stay in school, and trouble finding a career that will provide for you. Without these three things, achieving your goals is going to be one of the toughest tasks in the years to come.
