I haven't been teaching for very long, but I've definitely noticed that working on affective performance objectives would be very useful. Everything starts with student attitude and motivation, and if you can't encourage and guide them, it all turns sour. The students that succeed in the field are the ones who go the extra mile, care about what they do, and are dedicated to continuously improving their skill set. It's difficult to watch a student put in the bare-minimum, but you can only want their success as much as they do. However, I've also seen students whose attitudes towards their own skills start negatively, but as they work and progress they change into confident creatives. The gradual rise in skill and confidence shows them they have the capability to succeed, and they strive to keep climbing.

Action Plan: To work on creating some solid performance objectives for my fall courses.

Best Practices: Class critique sessions on student projects. Everyone brings a really attitude of constructive critique to the sessions, so students get to learn how to take criticism, give it, and apply it to make a better design. 

Successes: My graduates like to stay in contact with me and let me know how they're doing. Many are employed very quickly after graduating, and I get to brag them up to my students and they get psyched to know they can thrive in the field. 

Challenges: I'm still finding my teaching style, and the courses have given me a lot of great methods to integrate into my courses. I definitely need to have less word heavy presentations, my poor students!
