If you're going to make change happen within your organization, it's vital to have goals. More specifically, it's best to have one big hairy audacious goal (BHAG) to focus on. To ensure that my innovation plan is successful, I have developed a BHAG. My goal is for my colleagues to create a blended learning environment within their own classrooms that will increase student engagement and personalize learning so that our students can learn autonomy.

Once I developed my BHAG, I used Fink's (2003) self-directed guide to creating significant learning environments. The first step is to consider any and all situational factors which I was able to do using the worksheet for learning environments and situational factors provided by Fink in his self-directed guide. It's important to understand your audience in order to make sure your course design will reach your students.

The next step is to formulate learning goals as you need to know what you want your students to gain by the end of the course. I was able to create my learning goals using another worksheet, titled "Questions for Formulating Significant Learning Goals," provided by Fink in his self-directed guide.

Finally, I pulled all of this information together into the 3-column-table below.
