Wow, can you believe that one half of 2011, is over?! Or, I could say that only one half of 2011 remains. Touché. It’s time to do a goals progress update and see how I’m doing.
- Get published.
Rejected. Again. In the fall of 2010, we were rejected by ASCD’s Educational Leadership. Now we’ve been rejected by NCTE’s Language Arts. It’s back to the drawing board for a major rewrite and/or to find another journal for publication consideration. I’ll admit I feel a little stalled at this point.
- Read more books. (Goal of 50 in 2011)
To date, I have read 35 books. That’s an average of 5.8 books per month. If I keep up this pace, I’ll read 70 books this year, which well exceeds my goal. Granted, six of these books were picture books, but even if you subtract those from the list, I’ve read 29 and that’s over half-way to my goal of 50.
- Blog more often. (Goal of three times per month)
April = 4 posts
May = 9 posts
June = 7 posts
That’s an average of 6.67 per month! I have exceeded the standard.
I've never been one to write down my goals (personal or professional), but having something written does allow me to revisit and reevaluate periodically.
