30 Goals This is My Moment Post

Welcome to Cycle 4 of the 30 Goals Challenge for Educators: This is MY moment! Over 9000 educators have joined the The 30 Goals Challenge since January 2010. You have the opportunity to join our community of educators throughout the next few months of 2013 as we aim to accomplish 30 short-term goals related to education.

Goal 1: Define Your Moment

Goal 1: Define Your Moment of "Every moment is the paradox of now or never."

Avoid Burn-Out

Goal 2, “Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.”~ Mary Anne Radmacher

What's Your Personal Theme Song?

Goal 3, After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

Revisit an Idea

Goal 4, An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all. ~ Oscar Wilde

Step Out of Your Comfort Zone

Goal 5, “A ship in port is safe, but that is not what ships are built for. Sail out to sea and do new things.” ~ Grace Hopper

Choose Your Battles

Goal 6 “Choose your battles wisely. After all, life isn’t measured by how many times you stood up to fight. It’s not winning battles that makes you happy, but it’s how many times you turned away and chose to look into a better direction. Life is too short to spend it on warring. Fight only the most, most, most important ones, let the rest go.”~ C. JoyBell C

Share a Lesson or Activity

Goal 7, “If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.”~George Bernard Shaw

Extend the Conversation

Goal 8, “The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them.” ~ Ralph G. Nichols

Send a Future Message

Goal 9, “What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our lives haven’t happened yet.”~ Anne Frank

What's Your Book Print?

Goal 10, "Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly."

Theodora's blog

This time I was really excited about the subject. One great thing about this blog challenge is that we get to vote the Goals and decide on what we are going to write about! I suggested "My Book print" and I am so happy to see that most of the people who take part in this voted for it!!!

Build a Teacher's Survival Kit

Goal 11, “A master can tell you what he expects of you. A teacher, though, awakens your own expectations.” ~ Patricia Neal

Why I Teach

Goal 12,"If your actions in the classroom inspire children to achieve more, question more, and dream more, you are indeed worthy of the title "Teacher."

Make a Global Connection

Goal 13:, "True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us."

Conquer a Fear
