HABITS of MIND CHALLENGE . . .
Here is my progress on my two goals:
MY GOAL: To share wonderment and awe with at least one teacher for each day that I am able to be in the building. The observable data will be consistently based on teacher practice and highly effective strategies.
Measurement: Tally record by date for teachers with whom I have noted the observable data. Carbon copy or photocopy notes for record.

January Goal NOT Met 0/3 weeks
February Goal Met 3/4 weeks
March Goal Met 4/4 weeks

May goal . . .
4/28-5/3 Goal NOT Met (0 notes / 3.5 days)
5/6 - 5/10 Goal MET (6 notes / 2.5 days)
MY GOAL: To better prepare questions and think of potential roadblocks ahead of conversations and to actually ask the questions that generate from the discussion.
Measurement: Prepare (in writing) questions and potential roadblocks ahead of conversations. When a question arises in conversation, write the stem and ASK IT. Reflect on the usefulness of preparation questions and problems after each conversation with a + or - for usefulness. During conversation questions will be recorded and tallied.
