Through school there are specific expectations for students to reach. The expectations have to be general enough to apply to every subject and content area. If the expectations are too specific, the teachers begin to focus on that specific goal instead of the bigger picture of by the time these students are graduating high school what do I want them to have accomplished. Being able to reach an expectation and goal that stretches across content is something worth praise. The goals that should be set are high enough for the students to reach with help and a small struggle but not so outlandish and high that the students will never be able to reach it. Keeping in mind that the goals will stretch across all subjects and content area some goals I will hold for my students to accomplish over their education would include:
Students will develop an understanding of what learning is
Students will develop deeper understanding of subject matter
Students will understand how to keep engaged in all classrooms
Students will develop skills to further their abilities for the future
Students will develop an understanding of responsibility of their own learning
Although not complete, the expectations and goals are meant to challenge the students and help them understand what the teachers are trying to accomplish. If teachers keep goals constant in their mind, they can keep pushing their students to become better and keep them reaching for the stars.
