Target of Focus

The standard that I plan on using as a target during this semester is that I am going to complete all assignments on time, participate in class to be able to understand all material, study all course materials, etc. I want to use my time wisely and be able to succeed during this PDS program. I plan to hold myself to a high standard in order to be successful. Learning about the 4Cs in Education allowed me to understand that those characteristics help to a student to become successful. I plan on using collaboration when I am working with my cohort on group projects, during class discussions and communicating with my cohort in general and about classes. Being able to collaborate efficiently is what I plan to do. I am sure I will even learn how to expand my skills when it comes to collaboration as well. I am going to use Critical Thinking when I am doing all course assignments, class discussions, group projects, Field Experiences, etc. Critical Thinking can be used over a wide area during the course of a class. I want to be able to challenge myself since I have not been in a college class in a few years and do not have experience in the Education field regarding teaching. I think that being able to learn and think about all the material it will help me to understand it. Communication will be used to talk to my cohort, my professors and other individuals that I find the need to communicate with during any of my classes during this PDS Program. Communication is a very important skill to have and to be successful with. Learning to communicate effectively can take a lifetime to perfect, but as long as the person wants to better themselves, they will not have a problem with communication. For creativity I feel that can be used the best with class assignments and class discussions. I feel that I will be able to let my creative side flow more during this course and all my other classes during this program. I have a very creative brain and enjoy using my imagination. Being creative is a skill that I am glad that I have. For example, setting up this blog page, I enjoyed creating it and customizing it to how I would like it.
