  4. Setting Five (?) Year Goals • Be realistic—look at others that you admire who are about five years ahead of you in their careers. • Where am I now? • Just received tenure. Could go on sabbatical now, but John has two years to go until tenure and sabbatical. Have had small internal grants, an NSF career award, and several single investigator DOEd grants (Total: $4 million). 21 articles, 12 chapters, 2 books. AERA Program Chair, 4 Editorial Boards. Compressed salary. • Where do I want to be? • Have a baby. Need salary increase for new house/nanny. Try out research/department administration. Strong DC contacts in Education and STEM to lay groundwork for large 5-year center or multi-investigator STEM evaluation projects. Support John for tenure. Need to develop interdisciplinary connections on Illinois campus.
