Habit 2 This week I learned the second habit of “7 habits”, “begin with the end in mind”. This habit is about planning ahead and setting goals. When I started this program, I “begin with the end in mind” and knew my career goal is to be a Mandarin program lead in a public school. As a pioneer teacher at Mandarin programs for many years, I felt the urge to learn more new things and I need to be prepared when opportunities coming I can be ready. During these several months’ learning of the educational leadership program, I have learned so much that I would never know before, such as Enterprise Architecture, program evaluation from a leader’s point of view, PLN, etc. I now have a much clear view about how to lead and how to be as a school/program lead. When I taught the group of 6 year old girl last Sunday, we reviewed last week’s habit “be proactive.” We talked about what you need to do to prevent bad things happen or learn from your previous experience. Then I told them the story that I learned from Dr. Pumpian regarding the hole on the street “An autobiography”. Then I asked the group of girl what they have learned or what their thoughts are. It’s interesting to learn from them. One girl said “I need to be careful when I walk.” Another girl told me she needs to remember the hole and she won’t fall again. After that, we talked about this week’s second habit “start with the end in mind”. how to do things that have meaning and make a difference. How can be as an important part of your classroom and be a good citizen. I modelled them the gesture first. After this, we also talked about what the importance to make a plan and set up goals of a project They know the learning habit 2 is that “I plan ahead and set goals. I do things that have meaning and make a difference. I am an important part of my classroom. I look for ways to be a good citizen.” After this discussion, students also made a plan of next week’s girl scout hiking activity. I’m happy that students have learned a lot about habit 2.
