This semester, after the
warm-up, I began to put
an announcement page
and began to write down
to my students what we
were going to be covering
that day and week. I think
it is important for them to
understand what we are
covering and why. It also
provides them a look at
what is to come next. It
helps me set daily goals
with the class and it
allows them to set
individual goals. We also
go over our daily
objective and make sure
that we touch base at the
end of class to see if we
have met our goal.

This year, I have been
more intentional with goal
setting for students. At the
end of every month, I
provide the students with a
speaking self-assessment
where they have to grade
themselves on how they are
doing in the class. They
also write how they are
planning to improve their
speaking skills. Students
save this paper in their
notebook and we revise it
at the end of every week
before the month ends to
see if we are meeting our
goals. If we see that we are
not, we then modify and
come up with an action
plan. I like to update grades
weekly and at the end of
every Friday, we all check
our grades and have
students write to me a
reflection of how they feel
about the grade they have
at the moment, things they
are going to improve on
and how they feel in the
class. This has helped me
hold them accountable and
remind them that they
