Welcome! Mrs. Joanna Rasp

Ms. Joanna Rasp I am Jones Longhorn to the core. I live on Lake Keystone (Cleveland, Oklahoma). I have been married for a very long time. I have two children (both of whom graduated from JHS), two in-law children, three granddaughters. I have a precious rescue puppy named Stella. I am an OU fan. I want this to be your favorite class of the day. I am sort of strict about classroom procedures.

Routine Goals Scales

Goals You will notice that I have learning goals posted at the front of the room. Before we start class, a volunteer will be asked to read the objective or goal for your class. Keep in mind that the goal statement begins with these words: “I will be able to.”

Scales I want you to be able to evaluate how you’re doing. I want you to be able to communicate that self-evaluation to me. In order for this to be effective, we need to be speaking the same language. I call this Fist to Four.

0. Even with help, I do not know how to perform the learning goal.

1. Sometimes with help I am able to feel as if I am at a two or three.

2. I can identify some parts of the learning goal, but I can’t really apply the skill to real life.

3. I feel that I have complete mastery of the learning goal and can apply it to real life.

4. I think I can knock it out of the park 4. I think I can knock it out of the park! Not only do I know it, I can teach it to someone else and apply it to real life.
