Course Contract Review

What am I Doing Well?

I am learning the material that we are covering in class and applying it to my life currently.  I am also taking the next step and using it to think about my future classroom and my goals as a teacher.

What are You Not Doing Well?

In my course contract I said that I would review the material 4 times after I had completed the work before the next class, I am not doing that.  However, I think that was somewhat unrealistic.  I review material twice after completing homework and make sure I check the website.

Are You Making Sufficient Progress on Your Goals?

Yes!  There is always room for improvement, that is what makes life challenging but I have to give myself credit.

Specific Things I Need to Change?

Find a better environment to study in.  I feel like I am ignoring my daughter studying at home and that is not conducive to a good learning experience.

My Motivation?

I think my motivation is both mastery and performance right now.  I am changing attitudes I have had throughout my life.  I am very appreciative about what this class has taught me.  In the past I have usually started out with mastery goals and somewhere along the line my motivation became performance.  I am  making sure that I remind myself of what I want my students to also realize, that the right attitude can make learning fun as well as necessary.
