This week I was able to do an activity with my senior classes. We had been working on goal setting and assessing personal strengths and weaknesses. I thought it would be beneficial for students to understand the importance of advertising these for their upcoming college applications, to do this, we watched a TED Talk that emphasized the importance of knowing WHY you do what you do. In their writing journals called "Mix Tapes," I instructed them to write their own personal mission statements.
Here is the mission statement that I created as a model for my students:
›Miss
Fisher’s mission is to provide a quality education to students from all walks
of life by contributing to student academic and personal development,
innovation, and motivation in order to prepare them for a fulfilling and
successful life after high school.

Thanks for sharing this, Miss Fisher! I like that your mission statement does not limit student success to just college or just work. Randy Bomer would be proud. Can you share the link to the TED Talk you used? Thanks!
Thanks for the link! Good stuff.
