making a difference in the lives of my students is important to me. I’m not sure if this is a (S)pecific or (M)easurable goal, but I think it’s (A)ttainable and®elevant. I’m not sure how to make it (T)ime-bound. I could decide that this semester, I want to make a difference in the lives of my students. I could have that write before- and after- essays that would enable me to measure the impact my course has had on their number sense, appreciation of statistics, and feelings of self-confidence about math. 11 months ago
