S.M.A.R.T. GOALS

Course Learning Outcome: Formulate educational and career goals
and apply strategies to advance their goals and college performance

Reading - Chapter 1: Essentials of College Success Reading strategy: Chunking breaks the
chapter up in chunks/sections (ex. every 3 paragraphs, every new heading or
subheading)After reading every chuck or section you will complete the following
steps: Summarize what has been read in 10 words or less on the side of the
section. Think of one of the following questions to answer from the section (Who, What,
When, Where, Why and How). Highlight and clarify (look-up) any words or ideas that you
did not understand. Predict what will happen or be discussed in the next section. Once
students are finished with their reading, they will combine all of their 10 words or less
(summary) from step 2 turn it in when they return to class. In class, we will also go over
and have a discussion on the clarification of unknown words, ideas and how accurate
they were on the predictions of the next section.

2. Measurable. How will you measure whether or not the goal has been reached (list at least two
indicators)?

3. Achievable. Is it possible? Have others done it successfully? Do you have the necessary knowledge,
skills, abilities, and resources to accomplish the goal? Will meeting the goal challenge you without
defeating you?

4. Results-focused. What is the reason, purpose, or benefit of accomplishing the goal? What is the result

Ebony Young, M.Ed.│EDUC1300 Reflection Essay 1

I am so grateful for the Adjunct Certification Program (ACP) that Lone Star offers to
Adjunct and Faculty for free. I have gained a wealth of information and resources that I can share
with my students and other educators. The amount of energy, work and love put in this course is
priceless. The knowledge I have gained from this course I can use in my college courses,
elementary school, tutoring program, and coaching program. The ACP has given me life again in
my creativity and the way I am going to teach from now on. This course really gave me insight
on how to teach my EDUC course; furthermore, how to make the course more effective and
efficient. I just didn’t learn from Sunnye; I also learned a lot from my peers in my cohort.

I had always wanted to do rubrics, but never took the time to do it. Before this program,
my thoughts on creating a rubric was difficult. However, when I had to complete the rubric
assignment and Sunnye showed the class the different resources available that were helpful in
creating a rubric; the engulf of fear went away. When I had to create the rubric for the
assignment it literally took me maybe 30 minutes. Once I realize how easy it was, I created a
couple of rubrics for my 8-weeks course. This helped so much with giving instructions for the
students and grading for me.

Another element I incorporated in my courses was the Snapshot Syllabus. After
completing that assignment, I also uploaded it in my D2L for my two 15-weeks courses. When I
showed it to my students, I asked them how did the like it and what did they think. They stated
that it was easier to read and more attractive to the eye. So, the Snapshot Syllabus is something I
am going to make for all my courses.

One of the other components that I have incorporated in my courses is the technology
factor. There are a lot of presentations that the students must complete in my class and
PowerPoint can get redundant sometimes. As a result, I have introduced all the different
technology features in creating their presentations. That has made the assignments more
interesting and fun to do. In addition, students are learning new technology that can use
throughout their academic, career and life endeavors.

The course brought a great deal of light to my eyes. I was getting frustrated because it
seems as though my students were not getting the information, or they were not putting their full
effort into their work. Looking back, the students were a reflection of me. I allowed a pre-made

syllabus template to take away my creativity. I became only focus on, was the students getting
the points they needed to pass the course and lost the momentous of the course. The crazy thing
is the information in the curriculum is part of my passion and part of my coaching program. ACP
made me realize I was not being clear; I had no rubric for students to have a guide to go by. I
was not using objectives so students would have knowledge of the learning outcomes of the
activities and the course.

It’s a new day! Awareness is the principal for me becoming more effective in my
teaching strategies. Awareness was birth out through ACP and has helped me climb out of the
slump. This program has given me all the tools to be a successful instructor and to help my
students to become successful in their academic and career paths. This program has helped me
remember how I can take something and make it my own and to have no fear. I failed my
students a little this semester, but next semester and all after I am going to be a bomb instructor.
Everything I have attained in the program I am going to apply it to every facet of my course and
my other personal ventures.

The ACP should be a course that Adjuncts and Faulty are required to take at least within
the first six months that they have been hired. This course is such an essential constituent for the
instructor, students, and college. I am not for sure if they already have one, but a professional
development on teaching hybrid and online course; as it relates to making the WebEx interactive
and getting students to attend them. Also, an in-depth course on D2L, setting it up and all the
different little tricks that can be utilized. If they do have a D2L professional development; I think
it should be more than just a day training. Maybe it can get transformed into a course like the
ACP. There are so many things that can be done in D2L and one-day training does not give
enough time.

As I said before, I am so very grateful for ACP and Sunnye who was my instructor. She
made things very clear. She did not hold back, she overloaded us with information and resources.
She utilized her skills, knowledge, and gift to create a community of knowledge. This program
separates Lone Star from the rest. It is said that things can be taken away, but anything you learn
can never be taken. I will forever be able to take what I have learned and apply it to anything I do
until my mind no longer works or until I lay to rest. In return, I will be able to do the same thing
for my students. That is invaluable. Thank you!
