Getting Started
Set yourself up for success.
Setting goals for yourself is a crucial step. Acknowledging why you’re partaking in the course allows you to think critically about each lesson and focus in on your individual objectives within the lesson’s learning objectives. What do you hope to get out of this class? Take some time to really consider why you’ve decided to join in - it will help keep you motivated and engaged throughout the year.
In your learning journals (PDF download or paperback), you will find a space for writing down your goal, as well as identifying a photo you’ve taken in the past that you’re proud of. With the photo, it’s very possible that you aren’t sure why you like it. Take some time to really look at it. Is it a memory that makes you smile? Do the colors just work for you? Maybe it just “looks cool.” Write all that down. All reasons are worth noting. We’ll look back on these goals midway through the year, and again at the end. The learning journal will help you to track this progress.
With that goal in mind, you are set up for success - see you in 2024!
