1. For this Forum, you need to read Part II "Managing for High Performance" in your textbook.
2. (A) Use the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound) traits to establish goals for your educational career.
Requirements:
a. Ensure each goal is SMART
b. 3-5 goals
c. Explanation of what you hope to achieve with each goal.
d. What difficulties you had in establishing goals.
For example, if you say "didn't have enough information," you should also state what information you would have needed.
Do not use any of the goals found on page 25 of your text. You may use them as a reference.
(B). Have a counseling session with a friend, co-worker, or family member. Summarize your results in the Forum post. How do relationships influence our ability to effectively counsel someone (does the relationship help, hurt?)?
(C). Explain one disciplinary technique you either have used or had used on you. Based on the reading, was the technique proper? Explain why or why not. Submit your answer in this Forum by clicking "Post New Thread" above. (Do not enter your answer in the Assignments section of your e-classroom.)
3. Then respond to at least two (2) of your peer's answers by clicking the "Reply" link.
Were there SMART goals aligned? How could they have handled the counseling better? Do not simply say what you did and recommend they do the same. Be tactful (they are your peers). [100-200 words per peer response]
I will give everyone a chance to answer the question and begin grading your answer and responses toward the end of the week. I look forward to reading them!
Administrative Notes:
a. Remember to incorporate your classmate's name to personalize your response and clarify communications. For example, "Bob, I agree with all your points except - - - because - - -". Always justify your position.
b. Remember to respond to at least two (2) classmates' answers. Of course, you may respond to more if you wish. More earns max points, see attached rubric.
c. Remember to write your response in a courteous and respectful manner that enhances the learning process for everyone by using terms, models, theories, and concepts contained in the required readings.
d. Finally, I encourage you to insert your opinions and real world experiences. The real value in the online discussion comes from your application of the knowledge in the chapter and how you assess your classmate's perception of that knowledge.
