Teaching In The New Year!

              Happy 2018!  I am a very reflective person, both in my personal life as well as professional. I am excited to start a new year; because it opens a new chapter in my life to start new. I am convinced, based on my own life journey and from reading about successful people in general; that successful people set goals. I believe that the key to reaching goals is to keep written goals in front of us throughout the year.
                I created this "New Year's Resolution" activity to teach my high school level - special education students how to be self-reflective. This activity will, of course, go along with a lesson on the importance of goal setting - reaching our goals. It also fits nicely into my student's transition portfolios, IEP data and Continuous Classroom Improvement Cycle.
