Midterm Goals

Element from CPAST Goal with Details/Action Plan

E: Learning Target Goal: My goal is to improve on how I direct and present

and Direction the learning target to the students.

Action Plan: To improve on this CPAST element, I will be

focusing on referring to the learning target at the
beginning of the lesson in terms that are easy for
students to understand and refer to. I will make it a point
to write down the learning target on a sticky note so that
I am reminded to start that at the beginning of the
lesson. To further improve on this element, I will work on
taking directions step by step, rather than going over all
of them, which students seem to not pick up well.

R: Preparation Goal: My goal is to improve on how well I am prepared

before the beginning of a lesson.

Action Plan: To improve on this element, I will be focusing

on having all materials ready at the beginning of the day,
as well as the day before. I believe that I have materials
planned mentally, but having it all set out before the day
could help improve how prepared I feel for the lesson
that I am presenting to students. Last, another way I plan
to meet this element is to plan out what I will say
verbally, to make sure I am covering all material.
 Final Goals
Element from CPAST Goal with Details/Action Plan

J: Data-Guided Goal: My goal is to analyze data in a thorough timely

Instruction matter, in order to incorporate that information into my
instruction.

Action Plan: To improve on this goal, I will be analyzing

pre-assessments, bell work, and other small check ins in
order to attain a representation of which students are
excelling in a topic, which students are where they need
to be, and which students have understood a concept at a
very low degree. I will develop the priority of taking data
from classwork in order to create lessons that center
around the needs of the students. I will prioritize student
understanding rather than moving through curriculum.

K: Feedback to Goal: My goal is to provide feedback to learners that is

Learners informative to their learning as well as mine.

Action Plan: To improve of this goal, similar to data-

guided instruction, I will be providing students with
feedback in a timelier manner. I will be pushing myself to
let students know of the work they are doing at the time
they are using the concept. I want to be able to have
students know how they are doing with an academic
concept so that they are aware of expectations moving
forward, both formative and summative. I will work to use
that feedback to aid in my own observations of student
progress and growth.
R: Preparation Goal: Prepare materials and content in a timely manner
that produces less stress for myself.

Action Plan: To improve on this goal, I will continue to

push myself to have materials ready prior to the day the
lesson is being given. I will also mentally prepare myself
for instructional delivery so that I have feeling less
stress at the time of a lesson. I want to have myself
prepared, as it will improve the quality of the work I am
presenting to students, as well as improve the quality of
how they retain that information. This is my biggest goal
for myself, and as I continue to practice this in my
teaching career, I want to see this as my greatest
improvement.
