#1 Call to Action

Original excerpt from 1 of 9 eBook Download of Stop Crying in the Restroom [it ain’t that deep]: A Guide to Effective Goal Setting for Any Teacher on a Mission.

Discovering your life’s mission could mean a lifetime of research and development. Would you agree? At 30, I sold my highly successful window cleaning company to become a full-time substitute teacher. I know it sounds crazy, right? Shortly after that I answered the call to work with students no one else wanted to teach, it became my life long mission, and at 33 I went back to college and earned a certification to teach K – 12 students diagnosed with emotional challenges.

The pro’s in this volume: Elizabeth Gilbert on TED; and Robert Rose of The Huffington Post; Prominent businessman, philanthropist and self-help book author W. Clement Stone

Original excerpt from 2 of 9 eBook Download of Stop Crying in the Restroom [it ain’t that deep]: A Guide to Effective Goal Setting for Any Teacher on a Mission.

What smacks me upside the head [like that famous V8 commercial] is that if our mission in life is important enough to require years of refinement, why then don’t we spend more time studying the idea of purpose? I mean the reason for which you are here reading this eBook or why you even desire resolving your behavioral management problems when your closest family and friends are telling you, “You’ll never be able to teach those kids.”

The pro’s in this volume: Author of Pursuit of Happyness Chris Gardner of Pursuit of Happyness; Author of Make it Happen and Warner Music Group Mogul Kevin Lyles; and Dorit Sasson of New Teacher Resourcecenter

Original excerpt from 3 of 9 eBook Download of Stop Crying in the Restroom [it ain’t that deep]: A Guide to Effective Goal Setting for Any Teacher on a Mission.

Many times your colleagues will approach projects with cookie cutter strategies and some will create lesson plans out of plain old ignorance. But the smarter teacher operates in a less stressed learning environment because she understands how teaching systems work. She gets help with her Individual Educational Plan (IEP) and seeks to understand her purpose behind delivering lessons to each student she serves based on his or her learning style.

The pro’s in this volume: 27 year teaching veteran Laura Candler; World acclaimed leadership and business coach Zig Ziglar; Journalist extrodinaire Tavis Smiley of PBS; Psychology and child development writer Kendra Van Wagner, PhD.

#4 Focused Goals

Original excerpt from 4 of 9 eBook Download of Stop Crying in the Restroom [it ain’t that deep]: A Guide to Effective Goal Setting for Any Teacher on a Mission.

In volume 2.2 I wrote, “In the next eBook I’ll shine light on why setting dates on measurable goals are so important.” Here it is. Acclaimed authors and business coaches Ken Blanchard and Steve Gottry wrote, “People often procrastinate because they don’t have a clear picture of what’s important. And knowing what’s important involves knowing where they’ve been, where they are now, and where they are headed.” Well, if there was ever any doubt as to the importance of eliminating procrastination, unbelief, and distractions as it pertains to clearly defined goals this is it. Don’t be distracted from what’s most important, no matter what the case may be. Stay focused.

The pro’s in this volume: Ken Blanchard and Steve Gottry, The On-Time On-Target Manager; Tavis Smiley of PBS and Tavis Talks; and Dr. David C. Forbes Jr. Pastor of Columbus Christian Center Church

Original excerpt from 5 of 9 eBook Download of Stop Crying in the Restroom [it ain’t that deep]: A Guide to Effective Goal Setting for Any Teacher on a Mission.

After pulling the young guy off to the side of his opened classroom door I confirmed, “Things just don’t go the way we planned sometimes, huh?” His eyes gave him away. I hadn’t noticed them before. There wasn’t much there. His stare was part detached and part sleepy. I could tell by the crusty corners of his eyelids. A sign he wasn’t being monitored before leaving for school.

The pro’s in this volume: Joseph Almeida, sixth-grade mathematics teacher at KIPP Infinity Charter School in New York City; Dakarai I. Aarons is a staff writer for Education Week; and all the educational professionals that helped to sercure Jeremy’s future and students like him.

Original excerpt from 6 of 9 eBook Download of Stop Crying in the Restroom [it ain’t that deep]: A Guide to Effective Goal Setting for Any Teacher on a Mission.

As a new teacher you will face obstacles that may send you home in tears, screaming all the way up the Lodge Freeway. So, cry it out, but commit to clearly identifying the problems and creating aggressive action plans to make significant changes in the way you deal with classroom issues. Don’t just stand there waiting for something to happen or worst than that looking the other way as if you don’t see that elephant dropping those damn turds all over the place.

The pro’s in this volume: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Napoleon Hill, and PBS Talk Show Host Tavis Smiley revisits us for an anchor

#7 Action Based Goals

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:43:00 -0400

Original excerpt from 7 of 9 eBook Download of Stop Crying in the Restroom [it ain’t that deep]: A Guide to Effective Goal Setting for Any Teacher on a Mission.

I’ve grown to love this part of goal setting. Don’t just stand there you have to do something. Action based goal setting is where the rubber meets the road. When I created Empowering Basics University 20 years ago I didn’t understand how important monitoring actions were for me to produce the results I desired the most. I didn’t know any better. I was young and just made things happen. If I could think it, it was in motion within minutes. I don’t move as fast as I used to however, actions remain the foundation for my company’s three-step problem-solving model called PAR (problems + actions = result)^[1].

The pro’s in this volume: This volume is loaded with the web applications you need to effectively create and conduct all your social networking events. Following the advice outlined in this eBook will have you listed in the Super Star status.

#8 Realistic Goals

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:26:00 -0400

Original excerpt from 8 of 9 eBook Download of Stop Crying in the Restroom [it ain’t that deep]: A Guide to Effective Goal Setting for Any Teacher on a Mission.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but usually one of a few things will happen when attempting to set realistic goals. One possibility is that you stand a real good chance of talking yourself out of a goal that sounds too big for your God given abilities. “I mean He’s still working with me, right? So I couldn’t possibly pull that one off,” you might say. Remember the story of Jesus turning water into wine? Didn’t he tell his mom that it wasn’t his time when she did the mother thing saying, “My son can do anything, follow his instructions?”

The pro’s in this volume: This volume is exactly what you make it. Be the one to write your own story.

#9 Time Based Goals

Original excerpt from 9 of 9 eBook Download of Stop Crying in the Restroom [it ain’t that deep]: A Guide to Effective Goal Setting for Any Teacher on a Mission

Dr. Robert H. Goddard at Clark University 1924, “It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.”

Don’t skip the fundamental steps for goal setting. Design your goals the way an architect drafts his building plans. First, he has the vision in his head. Next he sketches the ideas onto paper. Then he drafts the blueprints to scale. After that he may cut out a model. Before any building takes place you better believe he will test the soil for foundation strength. Your timeline like the architect’s is critical to project managing the events needed to complete the goal.

The pro’s in this volume: Ken Blanchard of One Minute Manager Franchise and Robert H. Goddard, U.S. professor of physics and scientist, was a pioneer of controlled, liquid-fueled rocketry.
