Setting Goals: Instrumental & Missional Thinking
Short Term Goals (Next 6 months)
My short-term goal is to continually shift my student’s mindsets from a fixed mindset to a maker’s mindset. I am hoping to allow my students to be more reflective in their own work and allow time for their ideas to come to fruition. By guiding my students through the design process, my goal is to allow them to take more ownership in their learning and their journey into making. By the end of the year, I want my students to accomplish solving a simple problem by creating a product that fits that need.
Long Term Goals
In the next five years, I would like to grow my dreamMakers’ Makerspace to be inclusive to all students who are interested. I would like the program to be fully funded through partnerships with local community groups and through fundraising of products designed and sold by my dreamMakers. As the program grows, I would like to expose more students to the maker’s mindset. I would like to hold a community Maker’s Faire in the next couple years and run a community making competition. My other long term goal is to continue documenting on my website the changes we are undergoing over the next five years.
