I think the audience for my capstone website is going to be other teachers. Ideally, teachers of all experience levels and of all grade levels would be able to apply the information found on my website to their classrooms. The content is mainly going to be related to elementary school students, so I’m hoping it’s information that I can share with my colleagues, and beginning teachers. I had a student teacher this year and it was really nice sharing some information with her, and getting information from her as well- so having beginning teachers in mind as a part of my audience is something that’s on my mind as well. Goal setting with students can make such a big impact on their academic success, that I hope my work can help teachers and their students. I think that to reach my audience I am going to need to make my site engaging, but at the same time simple and concise. I don’t want my visitors to get overwhelmed, I want them to see how easy it can be to implement goal setting strategies in the classroom. I also want them to feel like it’s a manageable task for them, even if they aren’t super comfortable using tech tools. On my learn more pages, I would really like to include a lot of the research that I did with my students on goal setting, and examples of their work- and then a lot of resources and websites that can help other teachers accomplish what I have so far in my classroom. I would like to have previews or tutorial videos on there so that teachers understand how the tools I am recommending are used.

When I taught in Sacramento I used to get student teachers from Sac State all the time. I always enjoyed having one because they always came in with so many innovative ideas. I miss not having that as much here.
