BACK - I'M BACK - WHAT - YOU HADN'T NOTICED I WAS GONE?
I just was looking over old blogs, and I noticed I hadn't used this one for a while. I've been blogging on the political one, Right As Usual.
But, with the election over, it seems time to turn the focus to other issues and concerns.
Where I'm at:
Semi-employed, in a local middle school, on a long-term sub assignment as a technology teacher. It's been a really good experience, since it's allowed me to try out things in the classroom in an atmosphere of little pressure. If it works, great. If it doesn't, ahh- what the heck, I'm only subbing.
The students have been pussycats, just adorable (with occasional slight moments). In general, teaching in a suburb is FAR easier than the urban districts. It's not that the kids are so different (OK, they're a little quieter and less volatile), but the administration has the attitude that the kids CAN and WILL behave, or there will be consequences.
That's not generally the case in the city. There, the automatic assumption is that any challenges in the classroom are strictly the teacher's fault, probably because the teacher hates minority kids, or is not competent at his/her job, or just didn't have a good enough lesson plan.
Lesson Plans - yeah, that's the ticket. Just get a good one, align it to the state standards, and the kid with the substance abuse problem will sober up.
Yeah, right.

Hi
After reading a good blog I tend to analyze it to see what the person behind it might be like.
I've been in the goal setting business a while now and just like most people with experience in different areas of expertise, I can tell a lot about a person just by speaking to them or reading something they've written.
You haven't wrtten any goals on paper for awhile have you? And if you have I'll bet you haven't looked at them for a long time. Right?
Goal setting is hard work, and harder still if you don't have short range goals, mid range goals and long range goals.
I think you'll agree that few people really take the time to set goals of any kind.
When is the last time you really thought about setting some real goals, or are you like the vast majority of people who just "hope for the best"?
You already know successful people aren't "just lucky", they know how to set effective goals and reach them.
I was like that once, you might be also.
How about changing all that.
Come on over to goals+ and learn exactly how to set effective goals, act on them and be the real you.
There's a ton of FREE information and who knows, this little insert in your blog might well change your life!
Happy New Year!
