One of my New Years Goals was to start showing up for my blog on a weekly basis. Here it is, January 18th and I'm finally here. I'm taking an idea from one of my favorite online librarians, Jessamyn West, http://www.librarian.net/ and making goals for 2009 rather than Resolutions.

On the work tab, my goals are:

  • Complete National Board Portfolio by March 31 (a good date because it's the deadline)
  • Finish Collection Development Plan for the Library
  • Weeding focus: exceptionally old books in Non-Fiction
  • Work on a successful Friendship Festival
  • Plan for Accelerated Reader teacher training for 2009-2010

In the school section:

  • Complete 5 courses (1 in the Spring, 2 in the Summer and 2 in the fall.
  • Begin the process of obtaining an Internship at University of Oxford in 2010 http://www.ox.ac.uk/

The Personal tab of my life notebook:

  • Don't work so hard I forget to stay in touch with people
  • Scuba Certification
  • Last 10 pounds!
  • Master the art of Facebook and Twitter
  • Start reading again!
