Goals for Self and Learners

Personal Goals: I hope to gain a better understanding of students needs. I think child development is so important and this is a pivotal age for instilling an interest in school. I hope to show the students that English is a valuable skill that they will be able to use in their personal and professional lives. I also aim to demonstrate how improving on their English can simply help them better communicate with LA’s.

Goals for Students: I love the structure of the program at my school, because I am generally given an individual class in every period. That means that by the end of the 45 minute class, it’s quite easy to recognize how much of the task the students have been able to accomplish. As far as year long goals go, I hope to continue establishing a reasonable fun to work ratio. I always conduct my small groups with enthusiasm and some reward tactics. However, my students are starting to learn that unless they accomplish the task at hand, the small group cannot function.
