I'm in my first year of teaching. We just switched to a new semester, and I need to set some new goals for myself so that I can improve my teaching. This blog ties into my second goal.
Goal #1: Improve my classroom management. (Isn't this a goal of every new teacher? Heck, isn't this a goal of EVERY teacher?) I learned that "it's easier to start out strict and loosen up than to crack down later" lesson the hard way. I heard it a million times during college and student teaching, but I guess I didn't really think about it as much as I should have at the beginning of the year.
Goal #2: Incorporate more technology into my lessons. I took a survey at the beginning of this semester, and the majority of my students are tactile learners. The school that I'm teaching at has numerous technological resources and a great tech coach, so I want to start taking advantage of these resources to help these hands-on learners get more out of math.
Don't think these are the only goals I have for myself. For instance, I am constantly revising my lesson plans, my flip charts, my assessments, etc. But these are the two goals that I plan to focus on this semester. Thanks in advance for your support!
