My first and foremost goal I have for this class is to come everyday to class as prepared as possible and to look at each concept and idea as, "How can help me as a future teacher." The more work I put into it now the better teacher and student I will be for the future.
My second goal is to learn to learn and be the best student possible so I can therefore be a great teacher. I believe that learning will never end and that I can always stretch myself to become a better person and teacher.
With my current work and family responsibilities the best time for me to study for this class is on Tuesday and Thursdays from 1:00-5:00. This will be great timing as on Thursdays the material should be fresh in my mind. Saturdays are also open as I can receive additional reinforcement for this class. As I sent aside a time, a place (my home), and include the needed resources (my book, school supplies and computer), I should be able to bring my A game to this class. I will need to eliminate distractions and create a learning environment for myself.
If I do not understand a topic, I will do my best to receive help from other peers in the class. If needed I will seek out help and suggestions from the instructor. I also know that the book and the internet will also be valuable resources. I will also strive to be on time and attend every class period.
I will reach my goals in the course by disciplining myself to do more and learn as much as possible. This will include fulfilling all of what I need to do as I prepare to become a great teacher.
