Short and Long Term Goals
One of my short terms goals is to have more open communication between my colleagues. Currently one teacher does the math lessons and I contribute with a couple of the weekly worksheets while I am solely responsible with the science plans. I want to have weekly meeting with the other two math and science teachers so that we can plan both math and science together so that it is not just one person’s responsibility and so that we have a mixture of ideas for our students. Part of this goal is to also have once a week block integrating math and science with a project that the students have the full math and science time in class to work on.
This leads into my long term goals. I want this weekly project that integrates math and science and uses the whole block to be STEAM related and to be a student created and directed project that they can build upon weekly. I am one of two Science NGSS leaders at our school and I want to have my classroom and the rest of 6th grade be examples for other teachers to follow in how they integrate NGSS and STEAM learning in their own rooms. I am anticipating have more PDs next year in the beginning and middle of the year on NGSS and Science for my colleagues and I hope to share my ideas during these meeting. I hope that my goals of starting to work closer with my 6th grade team will help with my long term goals of working with the rest of my colleagues in creating projects that integrates math and science.
