Review
Additions
If additional goals are
added, provide rationale,
indicators and resources
needed.
I feel that I met my goal.
We had ipad for either 2-1
or 1-1, depending on the
day. I also watched quite a
few webinars on the GOLD
website.

Last year my goal was to

incorporate more technology into
my classroom. Another part of the
goal was during PD time to watch
specific procedures of using GOLD
online.
This year I would like to correctly
implement a topic/study that I
learned from my Young
Investigators workshop. I would like
to have my study meet standards in
science, math, technology and
literacy.

administrator will be able to easily identify through observations and through the
communication log.
