1.5 DISSEMINATION

Formulating a plan of action to enhance desired personal qualities

A. What will be your plan of action to further develop your qualities of

becoming a highly promising teacher.

-As stated in my long-term teaching goal, it is my intention to

help my students maximize their full potentials as individuals. I will
facilitate my student along the way to achieve their full potential by
setting personal goals for themselves and by being a living example of
that myself. I want to encourage my student to recognize and share
their talents with the rest of the world for it is only in so doing that
they will make the contribution to life that they were intended for. In
order to effectively attain these goals, I must be an intentional
teacher. I must therefore have a plan of action and be willing to invest
the time, energy and resources to accomplish this. I realize that I will
not be able to achieve my goals overnight- these things will begin
transpire over time.
