Goal Reflection

My math goal is to create a unit for each set of standards. I was going talk with my team every week but we have been so busy with India month, we haven't had time. I need to make sure we keep math time so we always even when we are busy. Let's plan on meeting for 10 min every Tuesday even when it is busy so math remains a priority.

My social goal was to give students clear expectations and directions and to ignore questions students can answer independently. I think communication has increased and clarified. I think students continue to need reminders to stop and listen because often I start independent work time and students don't know what to do. I wonder if we need a consequence for not listening or a chart tracking our good behaviors in class.
