Short -Term vs. Long -Term Goals
Short-term goals such as getting the students to love writing, establishing a safe environment so that students can take risks in their writing, and setting up a workable management system to handle flow of paper, folders, and so forth.
Long-term goals are the goals that are included in the Language Arts curriculum. These goals are detailed and may cause panic as to “how on earth” is anyone going to cover so many items.
