Advisory Agenda: Wed. 1/7

1. Welcome back Circle

• Share a highlight from winter break
• Share excitements and concerns about 2nd semester

2. New Year’s Resolutions!

• Write down 1-2 new year’s resolutions that pertain to your academic/social life at Animas
  
• They should be SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely)

Ashley's Example:
My resolution to improve my contribution to Animas High School is two-fold:
1. Create a community-based project for the Energy and Place project this year that is truly "project-based learning" in order to not only enable my students to have a truly relevant educational experience that is rooted in the community but to also inspire my colleagues to do more community-based projects.  I will complete this project plan by the end of March.

2.  Develop the backcountry ski program to offer more meaningful experiential education to students at a more affordable cost by finding sponsors to provide gear and funding for the program. I would like to have two ski set-ups by the end of the winter and by the beginning of next fall, at least one beacon for student use.  I would also like to lead one ski outing a month between now and April.  


Notes:

• Accountability buddies will ideally check in on each other’s goals and to what extent they are achieving them and whether or not they need help.
  
• Each grade check, accountability buddies will also meet and discuss progress toward goals (I’ll create an agenda for that for next grade check).
  
• These should be serious goals that mean something to you!  You can think back to your POL if needed.
  
• Turn in your goals for next grade check!

3. Share out resolutions 

4. Pair up as accountability buddies


5. Game time! (your choice)
