Graduated! Have my Master of Arts in Teaching. After two years of required, directed professional development of becoming a classroom teacher, I finally have a long summer ahead of me that I can use for my own personal pd choices.
So, I am taking my cue from Clif Mims, and setting goals for the summer.
Directions
Summer can be a great time for professional development. It is an opportunity to learn more about a topic, read a particular work or the works of a particular author, beef up an existing unit of instruction, advance one’s technical skills, work on that advanced degree or certification, pick up a new hobby, and finish many of the other items on our ever-growing To Do Lists. Let’s make Summer 2010 a time when we actually get to accomplish a few of those things and enjoy the thrill of marking them off our lists.
The Rules
NOTE: You do NOT have to wait to be tagged to participate in this meme.
Pick 1-3 professional development goals and commit to achieving them this summer.
For the purposes of this activity the end of summer will be Labor Day (09/06/2010).
Post the above directions along with your 1-3 goals on your blog.
Link back/trackback to http://clifmims.com/blog/archives/3669.
Use the following tag/ keyword/ category on your post: pdmeme2010.
Tag 5 or more bloggers to participate in the meme.
Achieve your goals and "develop professionally."
Commit to sharing your results on your blog during early or mid-September.
My Goals
1. Get through the stack of trade mags from this year. Save lesson ideas, Best Practices, etc for future, deeper reading (keep notes, scan articles, utilize Evernote)
2. Research ideas and find literature for Girls Engineering class. Girl-oriented projects, tested pedagogy, etc.
3. Study for the Chemistry, Integrated Science, Physics, and Math tests to take in the fall.
