My Professional Goals for Practice and Growth
Formulate two goals related to your professional practice and/or growth in your work as an early childhood professional.
Explain why each goal has particular meaning for you as an early childhood professional.
For at least one goal, explain how you aim to achieve it.
Note: Your goals can be as general or as specific or as short term or as long term, as you choose. For example, you may have a goal of becoming a certified kindergarten teacher in your state. You may be setting your sights on a position in the field that will require moving on to a master’s degree when you complete this program. Or, your goals may be very immediate, such as finding and working with a mentor to guide and strengthen your professional development, or applying your current knowledge to advocate on an issue that affects young children and families in your community or beyond. Think about setting goals that can help you be proactive in guiding your own professional journey today and throughout your career.
