Welcome to 2009! Yesterday, 6th and 7th period resource students wrote “schoolalutions” – New Year’s resolutions for school. Students were very reflective about what they need to improve on, and the fact that it’s hard to keep these promises to ourselves. So, instead of just making general goals (”Get better grades”), students wrote specific things they will do to accomplish those goals (”I will turn in all of my homework”). We will work with students for the rest of the year to accomplish these worthy aims.

I love your word "schoolalutions." I've done lessons in September about the beginning of school being my "New Years" because my life has always revolved around a school year schedule. I have the students write resolutions, but I'd like to use your word next year. Then one of my "schoolalution" will be to use them to keep the students focused on accomplishing there goals.

I'd be honored if you borrow "schoolalutions."! I always have trouble keeping students focused on those goals and revisiting/revising them throughout the year. I would love your suggestions.
