What I’ve Learned and How I Intend to Apply It
This module has deepened my understanding of how gratitude, purpose, and reflection can significantly enhance goal setting and personal growth. I’ve learned the value of acknowledging past successes as a foundation for future achievements, and how aligning goals with a sense of purpose can create more meaningful and sustainable progress.
One key takeaway for me is the concept of grit, which I will now incorporate into my vocabulary and mindset. Recognizing the power of perseverance and passion over time has reshaped how I view challenges and long-term goals.
In my classroom, I plan to intentionally foster a more positive and inclusive environment by integrating practical tools such as “positivity breaks,” “3 Good Things,” “purposeful learning statements,” and structured goal-setting techniques. These exercises will help students build emotional resilience, stay motivated, and connect their learning to a greater sense of purpose.
By applying these strategies, I aim to create a space where both students and I can thrive—grounded in gratitude, driven by purpose, and supported by a culture of positivity.
