Goals for Week 4

Here are my goals for this week (and more):
1. Allign goals to standards. (Earlier in the week I decided I wanted to start aligning some of my goals to the INTASC standards.)
2. Set up a benchmark conference time with Mr. Cleland.
3. In regards to standard 4, I want to keep learning different strategies to motive and encourage their learning, especially "performance skills," which I believe are really important to the journalism classroom. I also want to learn different strategies for classroom mangament. (My 6th period class went nuts on Thursday.)


(INTASC 4: The teacher understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies to encourage students' development of critical thinking, problem solving, and performance skills.)
