Laurie has the long term goal of becoming a nurse. Identify several sub-goals that she could create to help her achieve this goal. Advise her about how to best monitor her progress toward her goal
What will be an ideal response?
There are many possible sub-goals for becoming a nurse. Here is a list of some of the steps:
• Research the requirements to be a nurse
• Identify steps that need to be taken to apply to nursing program
• Identify and take (achieving a grade of B or better) pre-requisite courses that can be taken prior to being accepted into the nursing program
• Meet with admissions about application process
• Meet with current nursing students and faculty to learn about the program
• Apply to nursing program
Laurie should write down a comprehensive list of the sub-goals, highlighting deadlines such as application deadlines. Each sub-goal should be specific. She can then put a target completion date for each sub-goal. As she completes them, she can check them off, giving her a sense of satisfaction. She should set up "check-ups" so she remembers to look at her progress and make adjustments as necessary.

Lee Thurston, a fifth-grade teacher at Washington Elementary School, has had seven very successful years of teaching. His students love him and parents of students who are in the fourth-grade classes request that their children be placed with him during
their fifth-grade experience. Last year Lee was voted "Teacher of the Year" by the faculty in the district. In the spring of the year, Lee is told that, because he is such a good teacher, he will be getting David Spears as a student in next year's class. David, during his fourth-grade year, had been identified as having a behavior disorder after confronting another student with a knife. Lee had some concerns about David, but decided he was willing to try to help. He would come up with some ideas for working with David as he attended graduate school over the summer. A week before school started, Lee met with Ellen Lansing, Washington School's principal. "It's been a busy summer," remarked Ellen. "I'm afraid some of your students' parents have requested to have another teacher since you will have David Spears in your class. They are worried that you won't be able to control him or that at some point you won't be available to help if things get out of hand." "With inclusion, situations are going to come up like this more and more," replied Lee. "What do you think we should do?" Discuss the advantages and disadvantages to full inclusion, mainstreaming, and other options related to student placement. What would you do to solve Lee's problem? What will be an ideal response?
