Happy New Year! Tony Robbins tells a story about a UPS worker who never made more than $14,000 a year and yet became a millionaire—he was disciplined and saved money to invest on a consistent basis. Robbins argues that having effective daily habits builds rewards over time. If I knew how to make you a millionaire, I wouldn’t be here, but let’s apply this concept of discipline to become successful math teachers.
You have learned a lot about how math can be taught from our workshops. You have the ideas, now it is imperative to apply these ideas on a consistent basis. What is something that you would like to implement? Would you like to include a BURST activity once a week or for a few minutes every day? Would you like to spend more time engaging those students who think that they are not successful in math? Go ahead and set a goal. It is effective to have a long-term goal and a short-term related goal to help you achieve that longer goal. I am sharing a personal goal and professional goal on our Twitter page. Post your goal/s at https://twitter.com/AIMM4ETX More on goal setting by Tony Robbins: https://www.success.com/tony-robbins-goals/ We look forward to seeing you at SFA on February 22 and 23.

My personal goal is to start jogging again. My long term professional goal is to make more students get to where they ask deeper math questions and to fit more of the AIMM activities/problem solving into our class activities, school time schedule/restrictions has not allowed as much as I would like.

My personal goals are to lose about 40 pounds this year. My short-term professional goal is to finish my masters degree (9 hours left Woot!) and my long-term professional goal is to complete a Principal Certification program after my current masters degree program.

My first goal is to pass the ESL certification test this Saturday. My next goal is to inspire my reluctant students to want to learn more about math by making Math seem meaningful to them.
