We all have dreams of goals and new habits that we want to achieve. However, not all of us are able to reach those goals! Why do some people succeed with goal setting while others do not? The secret is in your WHY! In this four week class, we will talk about goals, why they sometimes work (and often do not) and how we can do a better job of setting goals that are meaningful. Learners will learn how to determine their "why" or reason for having a goal and how to write an action plan for achieving that goal. We will break our goals down into daily habits that we need to practice and learn how to monitor our progress toward these habits and goals. We will then create a vision board to help us stay mindful and focus on our goal each day. We will also learn how to use an important tool to help us organize our time and our life: a bullet journal! Bullet Journaling is a fun and useful way to organize your life. Bullet Journals are customized calendars created by you! In addition to a calendar, your journal will have space for taking notes, brainstorming ideas, tracking habits, drawing and more! Bullet journaling is an effective organizational tool that works for a variety of people. It is particularly effective for those of us who may have struggled with organization in the past. In the course, we will learn what Bullet Journaling is, why it is helpful and how it can help you organize your time. We will take a look at illustrations of various bullet journal templates, styles and outlines. We will discuss the pros and cons of each and even come up with our own ideas. Then, we will put our new knowledge to work as we create our own Bullet Journal! Classes consist of a weekly teacher-made recorded lesson that features interactive questions to keep learners engaged with the content. The lessons will guide learners in the creation of their goal setting, bullet journal and vision board creations. In addition to the weekly lessons, learners will interact with each other in our classroom discussion area to share struggles, successes and ask questions. There will also be multiple opportunities for learners to interact with each other and the teacher, along with the ability to showcase their work and receive feedback through FlipGrids, Padlets and more. Our weekly lesson schedule is as follows: Week 1: Mindful Goal Setting Week 2: Bullet Journal Basics Week 3: Next Level Bullet Journaling: Habit Trackers, Personal Pages and More! Week 4: Vision Boards

Teacher expertise and credentials
North Carolina Teaching Certificate in Social Studies/History
I have taught in both the traditional classroom and online environment for over 13 years. As both a teacher and mentor, I have helped teenagers and adults set and reach their personal and academic goals. I have also taken many courses, both personally and professionally, on goal setting, mindfulness and related topics. In addition, I have been bullet journaling for several years now and I have been amazed at how much it has helped keep more organized. It has even increased my productivity! I'm thrilled to introduce these concepts to students and help them implement them in their own lives.
